UIDAI Launches Aadhaar Onboarding for Cooperative Banks
UIDAI is introducing a new system to help cooperative banks use Aadhaar for verifying customers.
This makes it easier for people to open bank accounts using their Aadhaar information.
All cooperative banks will be able to offer services like verifying customers with fingerprints and facial recognition.
The new system will help banks operate more efficiently and reach more customers, especially in rural areas.
Customers can also receive government payments directly in their bank accounts using Aadhaar, making the process easier and faster.
This system is meant to bring more people into the banking system.
UIDAI launched a new framework for cooperative banks to provide Aadhaar-based authentication.
The framework involves State Cooperative Banks (SCBs) and District Central Cooperative Banks (DCCBs).
SCBs will be registered as Authentication User Agencies (AUA) and eKYC User Agencies (KUA).
Cooperative banks can now offer Aadhaar-enabled services for customer onboarding.
The initiative aims to strengthen banking access in rural and semi-urban areas.
