Mswipe gets RBI payment aggregator licence for online and offline transactions Mumbai-based digital payments firm Mswipe Technologies has received the Reserve Bank of Indiaโ€™s final Payment Aggregator (PA) licence, allowing it to operate across both online and physical payment channels. With this approval, Mswipe can onboard merchants and aggregate payments across in-store, online, and hybrid setups under a single regulatory framework. The licence also enables the company to facilitate inward and outward cross-border payment flows, expanding its scope beyond domestic acceptance. The firm currently offers MPOS and smart PoS terminals, QR soundboxes, payment gateways, and embedded digital payment services to merchants across categories. In recent months, RBI approved online, offline and cross border payment aggregation for around half a dozen companies. These include Paytm, Razorpay, Easebuzz, PayU, Pine Labs and Airpay. With these clearances, the firms are authorised to offer a full stack of payment aggregator services across ecommerce transactions, in store merchant payments and cross border payment flows. According to the company, the licence will allow it to scale its omni-channel payments offering and roll out additional services for MSMEs and enterprises operating across physical and digital channels. In FY24, Mswipeโ€™s payments business reported adjusted profitability, with revenue crossing Rs 275 crore. Its total payment volume more than doubled year-on-year, driven by increased adoption of its combined offline and online payment solutions. Founded in 2011, Mswipe serves merchants across more than 600 cities in India. The company is backed by investors including Alpha Wave Global, Matrix Partners, B Capital, DSG Consumer Partners, Epiq Capital, UC-RNT, and Ola.

Paytm Payments Services Limited (PPSL), a wholly owned subsidiary of One 97 Communications Limited, has received authorisation from the Reserve Bank of India to operate as a payment aggregator for physical or offline payments and cross border transactions, according to a regulatory filing. The approval allows PPSL to undertake cross border payment aggregation for both inward and outward transactions. This is in addition to the online payment aggregator authorisation granted by the RBI last month. With this authorisation, PPSL now holds payment aggregator approvals across online, offline, and cross border segments. The company said the approval enables it to offer payment aggregation services across multiple use cases for merchants. Paytm had earlier applied for a payment aggregator licence, which was returned by the RBI in November 2022. The company reapplied in September 2024 and received in principle approval from the regulator in August 2025, following which the final authorisation has now been issued. Paytm becomes part of a limited set of regulated players that are authorised to support domestic and cross border payments across both online and offline merchant channels on a single compliant platform. Other companies in this group include Razorpay, Easebuzz, PayU, Pine Labs, and Airpay. The company reported revenue from operations of Rs 2,061 crore in Q2 FY26, up from Rs 1,659 crore in the year ago period. However, its net profit fell sharply to Rs 21 crore from Rs 930 crore in Q2 FY25, primarily due to the absence of a one time gain in the base quarter and an impairment loss recorded in the latest quarter.
