airpay secures all three RBI payment-aggregator licences Mumbai-based airpay Payment Services has received authorisation from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to operate across the full payment-aggregator framework, completing approvals for online (PA-O), physical/POS and QR (PA-P), and cross-border (PA-CB) services. With this, airpay now joins a small group of regulated players that can handle domestic and international payments across online and offline merchant touchpoints on a single compliant stack. The recent list includes Razorpay, Easebuzz, PayU and Pine Labs. The company said the approvals will allow it to offer collections, payouts and settlements for Indian enterprises, D2C brands and SMEs selling both within India and overseas. airpay expects the expanded licence set to drive a 30–40% increase in processing volumes over the next 6–12 months. It is also projecting over 20% of its revenue to come from cross-border flows in this period, alongside the onboarding of more than 50,000 merchants. Founded in 2012, airpay operates in UPI acquiring, QR, payment links, PoS and merchant lifecycle management. With all three licences in place, the company is now positioned to support online, offline and cross-border commerce from a single regulated infrastructure as Indian businesses expand beyond domestic markets. This is expected to reduce settlement risk and compliance overhead for exporters, SaaS firms, subscription businesses and D2C brands targeting markets in Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia.

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.
