The digital payments industry works on large volumes and low margins. So if the revenue pie shrinks (beyond a certain critical mass) the entire business model is at risk of becoming unviable. The blunt force of the pandemic has caused digital payment transactions volumes to plummet, hitting the industry hard. It’s an opportunity and a curse. On the one hand consumers spends have dropped and revenues have dried up. On the other, digital payments is becoming an ‘essential’ commodity. It’s the only way to pay in a socially distant world. Especially since currency notes (like door handles) are potential carriers of the ‘virus’.
However, with major revenue generators like e-commerce and travel impacted heavily, the payments industry may take time to recover even after the lockdown is over. For an industry that survives on a high-volume-low-margin model, a zero MDR policy will only add to the wounds inflicted on the industry by the pandemic. We make a case as to why the government must re-consider policies like zero MDR if it wants the digital payments industry to fight the (economic) war against coronavirus.- Aparajita Srivastava and Arpit Gupta
