In India we have UPI by government no fees.

It is a new way of payments that removes need for middleman and government even has a official app ( BHIM App ) for it and most importantly it is a protocol so anyone can use it without third parties ( private companies )involved.

It now also supports subscriptions.

Also it is supported by all payment apps including PayTm, PhonePe, and Google Pay India.
