Now that MobiKwik is integrated with the IRCTC Connect app, users can experience 'super-fast, express' payments and book all their rail tickets in a flash. MobiKwik wallet offering utmost ease and security in transactions, is bound to spike pan India booking of rail tickets via IRCTC mobile app. Thus, partnering with IRCTC, which drives the largest number of digital transactions in the country, we give a thrust to the government’s mandate of boosting wider adoption of digital money in India."

Crossing online sales worth USD 3 billion for the year ending March 2015, IRCTC became the largest e-commerce platform in the country. It owes bulk of its sales to rapid growth in digital transactions which is due to IRCTC’s strong user interface and a robust process system. This technological advancement will be further enhanced by this partnership as MobiKwik is the only mobile wallet that can boast of near 100 per cent success rate in processing payments.

Explaining the robust interface that IRCTC inherits, Bipin remarked, “When retailers integrate MobiKwik's wallet interface, users get to make the payment from within the retailer's platform and no re-direction to MobiKwik is required. This allows complete ease of payments where transaction failure is nearly non-existent.”
