Interoperability

byPaytm Editorial TeamLast Updated: July 10, 2025

Definition

Interoperability means that different systems or apps can work together smoothly. In the context of finance, it allows users to send or receive money across different platforms.

Real-life Example

You can send money from Paytm to any UPI App or scan a Paytm QR code using any UPI-enabled app — that’s interoperability.

Why It Matters

  • Makes digital payments more flexible
  • Reduces dependency on one app or platform
  • Enhances user experience

The meaning of interoperability lies in creating a connected and unified digital ecosystem for all users.
