flag U.S. fintechs profit from instant transfer fees due to slow banking systems, unlike India’s free UPI.

flag Zerodha co-founder Nithin Kamath said Robinhood is projected to earn $150 million annually from instant withdrawal fees, netting about $100 million after costs, due to the U.S. banking system’s lack of real-time payments. flag He contrasted this with India’s UPI, which enables free instant transfers, making it difficult for Indian fintechs to monetize add-on services despite similar business models. flag Kamath highlighted a key structural difference: U.S. users pay for speed, while Indian consumers resist paying for such features, underscoring a broader gap in monetization potential between the two markets.
