MobiKwik’s Zaakpay ​​receives RBI nod to operate as online payment aggregator. Fintech company MobiKwik announced today that its subsidiary, Zaakpay, has received a certificate of authorisation from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to operate as an online payment aggregator. This regulatory approval allows Zaakpay to expand its role in India’s rapidly growing digital payments ecosystem. As an RBI-authorised payment aggregator, Zaakpay will now be able to onboard merchants and facilitate online payment transactions in compliance with the central bank’s guidelines. In a regulatory filing, the company emphasized that this milestone enhances Zaakpay’s capacity to scale its operations and deepen its presence in the digital payments market. Recently, the Gurugram-based company forayed into the securities broking space with the launch of its wholly owned subsidiary, MobiKwik Securities Broking Private Limited (MSBPL). As of Q3 FY25, MobiKwik’s registered user base had grown to 172 million, along with a merchant network of 5 million. In the third quarter of the previous fiscal year, it reported revenue of Rs 269 crore and a loss of Rs 55.2 crore.

Ahead of IPO, PayU receives final Payment Aggregator license PayU has received final authorization from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to operate as an online Payment Aggregator. This allows the fintech firm to onboard new merchants onto its platform. In April 2024, PayU received in-principle approval from the RBI to operate as a payment aggregator. “As we move forward, we remain dedicated to building a resilient, compliant, inclusive, and innovation-driven institution—one that serves merchants of all sizes and contributes meaningfully to the Digital India vision of the RBI and the Government,” said a PayU spokesperson. The development comes at a time when PayU is planning for its IPO, eyeing a public listing during the second half of 2025. The company also appointed Pramod Rao as its Chief Risk Officer, who will oversee risk management, regulatory compliance, and strengthen the organization’s financial and operational risk framework. PayU has acquired a 43.5% stake in real-time payments technology firm Mindgate Solutions, enhancing its footprint in India’s real-time payments space and leveraging Mindgate’s expertise to drive digital payment innovation globally. Several other startups have secured authorization from the RBI as payment aggregators. MobiKwik’s subsidiary Zaakpay and PB Fintech’s subsidiary PB Pay received in-principle approval, and BharatPe’s Resilient Payments was granted final approval. Earlier this year, cross-border payments company Skydo received in-principle authorization from the RBI to operate as a Payment Aggregator-Cross Border (PA-CB) entity.

Mobikwik secures SEBI nod to launch stockbroking operations Fintech firm Mobikwik has received approval from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to operate as a stockbroker and clearing member through its wholly owned subsidiary, Mobikwik Securities Broking Private Limited (MSBPL). The regulatory clearance, granted under SEBI’s Stock Broker Regulations, 1992, allows the company to buy, sell, and deal in securities on behalf of clients, as well as carry out clearing and settlement of trades. MSBPL may also undertake other exchange-approved activities. Mobikwik had incorporated MSBPL in March 2025, marking its formal entry into the capital markets ecosystem. With this move, the company joins the crowded stock broking space dominated by platforms such as Groww, Zerodha, AngelOne, Upstox, and ICICI Direct. Groww currently leads the sector in terms of active user base, followed by Zerodha and AngelOne. The development signals Mobikwik’s continued push to diversify beyond payments into broader financial services. Soon after launching MSBPL, the company set up a wholly owned NBFC subsidiary, while another subsidiary, Zaakpay, received RBI approval to operate as a payment aggregator.

Infibeam Avenues has received final authorisation from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to operate as a Payment Aggregator under the Payment Settlements Act, 2007 for its payment gateway brand – CCAvenue. While Infibeam Avenues already received “in-principle” approval from the RBI late last year, the apex banking body has granted the final licence. RBI had introduced the payment aggregator framework in March 2020. Infibeam Avenues offers digital payment solutions and enterprise software platforms to businesses and governments across industry verticals. The company’s payment infrastructure solution includes acquiring and issuing solutions and offering infrastructure for banks. Its enterprise software platform provides an online marketplace for government procurement. Razorpay, Cashfree, and Open were the first set of players to get the regulatory nod in December last year. Zomato, DigiO, Google, and Tata Digital among others are the other major players to get the payments licence. Infibeam Avenues claims that it has more than 10 million merchants on its platform and crossed half a million merchant onboarding in the first half of FY24. Infibeam Avenues had earlier launched CCAvenue mobile app, which is an advanced omni-channel payment app where its app features a pin-on-glass SoftPoS solution – CCAvenue TapPay for Merchants and Kiranas across the country. Infibeam Avenues had shown strong growth and this could be evident from its Q3 FY24 numbers. Its revenue from operations grew 15.4% to Rs 912 crore in Q3 FY24 whereas the firm also managed to grow its profit marginally to Rs 40.8 crore during the above mentioned period.
