PolicyBazaar’s PB Pay receives RBI approval for Payment Aggregation PB Pay Private Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of InsurTech firm PB Fintech, has received in-principle approval from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to operate as an online payment aggregator under the Payment and Settlement Systems Act, 2007. The approval comes nearly a year after the company submitted its application. The authorisation is subject to compliance with the RBI’s guidelines on the regulation of payment aggregators and payment gateways. Policybazaar focuses on insurance, while Paisabazaar, also under PB Fintech, handles the credit side — personal loans, business loans, credit cards, and credit scores. This move will help the company’s business to support and streamline payment across both insurance and credit verticals and reduce reliance on third-party service providers. Last month, PB Fintech also got the board approval to infuse Rs 696 crore or $80 million to its subsidiary PB Healthcare Services Pvt Ltd to strengthen its new unit’s operations in India’s health care sector. The parent company of Policybazaar and Paisabazaar reported a 48.3% year-on-year revenue growth to Rs 1,292 crore in the third quarter of the last fiscal year (Q3 FY25) from Rs 871 crore in Q3 FY24. During the same period, its net profit nearly doubled to Rs 72 crore from Rs 37 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal. PB Fintech is currently trading at Rs 1,625 with a total market capitalization of Rs 74,629 crore (approximately $8.6 billion).
