This particular payment system is available to all the sections of society who possess an Aadhaar card.

Here are the steps you need to follow in order to use the Aadhaar Enabled Payment System and make transactions securely:
The Aadhaar enabled Payment System offers a host of services that are necessary on a day-to-day basis. Some of these are as follows:
Apart from such service offerings, this payment system comes with certain advantages. Refer to the next section to know the benefits in detail.

Note that to initiate AEPS transactions, users only need to provide his/her Aadhaar number and the biometric information linked with the same. The same system allows Aadhaar enabled transactions across several financial institutions.
A significant benefit of AEPS transactions is that it has no additional cost for the customer. That said, a bank or merchant offering this service has to pay UIDAI and NPCI a certain fee.
Ans: Best finger detection or BFD refers to the fingers of the resident that has the best probability of matching during authentication. To undertake Aadhaar enabled payment, one must authenticate the transaction using biometric data, specifically fingerprints.
Ans: ON-US transactions are those that only affect accounts within one (the same) bank. Therefore, the transfer of funds does not take place across two separate organisations. An ON-US transaction is also known as an intra-bank transaction for the same reason.
Ans: An Off-US transaction means that funds move from one bank to another. This transfer is known as an interbank settlement because two or more organisations are involved with this exchange. A bank’s customers can approach any other bank’s terminals to avail of AEPS service.
Ans: AUA stands for Authentication User Agency. Any entity or organisation which conducts Aadhaar number verification during the authentication process is a part of AUA. On the other hand, KUA refers to a KYC User Agency. All organisations that fall under the AUA category must sign an agreement for KYC API access.
Ans: To transact using AEPS, the following are necessary:
• Aadhaar number
• Fingerprint
• Micro ATM
• Name/bank IIN (Issuer Identification number)
• Assisted mode
**Note that the most important requirement for AEPS transactions is one’s Aadhaar biometric details.
