revolutionizing digital finance with over 14 billion monthly transactions by
May 2025. 💸 To honor
this milestone, we propose April 11 as Safe ePay Day, a global
initiative to celebrate secure digital payments and promote cybersecurity. 🌐🔐

Virtual Payment Addresses have empowered everyone from street vendors to
small businesses. Safe ePay Day celebrates this inclusivity while

is a chance to educate users on two-factor authentication and safe
transaction habits. 🛡️

Nepal and Singapore. Safe ePay Day can spark a worldwide push for secure,
inclusive fintech. 🌍🚀
Vision for April 11, 2026 🎉
Imagine communities hosting cybersecurity workshops,
businesses rewarding safe payment practices, and schools teaching kids about
digital safety. As UPI nears its 10th anniversary, Safe ePay Day can
unite us in building a trustworthy digital economy. 📚💡

📢 Appeal
to Declare April 11 as Safe ePay Day
💭 In a world that’s going digital fast, trust
and security in financial transactions matter more than ever. This
appeal is a heartfelt call to declare April 11 as Safe ePay Day—a global
celebration of secure, inclusive, and responsible digital payments.
🔁 Why April 11? Because on this very day in 2016,
India launched a humble pilot: UPI (Unified Payments Interface). Today,
that spark has grown into a blazing fintech revolution.
📈 As of May 2025, UPI handles 14+ billion
secure transactions per month—changing lives in metros and villages alike.
🌱 Let’s honor this milestone by dedicating April
11 every year to raise awareness about cyber safety, encourage safe
e-payment habits, and promote fintech for the public good.
📅 Why
April 11 Deserves a Global Spotlight
🔹 A
Historic Beginning – On April 11, 2016, the National Payments Corporation
of India (NPCI) launched UPI’s pilot, quietly kickstarting a major leap in
financial access and transparency.
🔹 A Symbol of Digital
Trust – In a time of increasing fraud and phishing, a day dedicated to safe
digital payments helps reinforce public confidence.
🔹 A Call to Every
Country – UPI has already inspired countries like Nepal, Singapore,
and Peru. A Safe ePay Day is a timely global message: progress must
also be protected.
🌟 4 Powerful Reasons to Celebrate

Safe ePay Day gives us a moment every year to:
🔐 Learn about two-factor
authentication
🔍 Understand transaction
verification
🚫 Say no to suspicious
payment requests
4️⃣ Inspire a Global Movement
