BharatPe, a financial services and UPI payments company, has announced the launch of Unity Bank BharatPe Credit Card, in partnership with Unity Small Finance Bank (Unity Bank). The card brings industry-first features designed to make everyday payments including groceries, bill payments, travel, utilities, insurance premiums, and lifestyle spends, both online & offline, smarter and more rewarding. Offered on National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) RuPay network, the card can be seamlessly linked to UPI, enabling secure and convenient payments across millions of merchants in India. With a zero-fee structure, the card does away with all hidden costs. There are no joining charges, annual fees, processing charges, or foreclosure penalties. Customers also enjoy the flexibility to prepay their EMIs anytime without penalties, making credit access transparent and stress-free. The card offers flexible EMI options of up to 12 months, helping customers manage big-ticket purchases with ease. What truly sets it apart is its unlimited flat 2% rewards (Zillion Coins) on every transaction upon EMI conversion, across all merchant categories and platforms, without restrictions. Zillion Coins can be redeemed via the BharatPe app for brand vouchers, products, or even to pay credit card bills. Kohinoor Biswas, Head โ€“ Consumer Business at BharatPe, said, โ€œOur focus has always been to make access to credit simple, transparent, and inclusive. With the Unity Bank BharatPe Credit Card, customers get a truly lifetime free card with no hidden charges. Moreover, linking RuPay Credit Card with UPI opens a multitude of convenient payment options for cardholders.โ€ In April, BharatPeโ€™s subsidiary Resilient secured final approval from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to operate as an online payment aggregator. This makes BharatPe one of the few Indian fintech companies to hold an NBFC license (through Trillion Loans), a stake in a small finance bank (Unity SFB), and now a payment aggregator license. Currently, with a registered network of over 2.5 million merchants across over 450 cities, BharatPe processes more than 500 million UPI transactions per month. It processes payments of a monthly Transaction Processed Value of Rs 12,000 crore.

Fintech firm BharatPe is going through another transformation to strengthen the leadership team across three verticals, sources aware of the development told Entrackr. For the uninitiated, BharatPe runs three entities โ€“ Resilient Innovations Private Limited (merchant app), Resilient Payments Private Limited (Payment unit), and Resilient Digi Services Private Limited (lending unit). Sandeep Indurkar will now step up as the CEO of the payments vertical, one of the sources told Entrackr. Indurkar was earlier chief business officer of the banking vertical at the company.

Sources also further said that the trio will continue to report to Nalin Negi, the interim CEO of BharatPe. In a nutshell, Indurkar will be heading the payment unit (RPPL), Kohinoor will be heading RDSPL, and Nalin will continue to lead the merchant unit (RIPL). A BharatPe spokesperson confirmed the development but did not comment further. Amid high profile exits in 2023, BharatPe also announced key hirings during the last year. In July, it appointed Pankaj Goel as its chief technical officer (CTO). The company filled the position of CTO after a gap of seven months whereas its CFO Nalin Negi has been acting as an interim CEO since January last year. The new changes in leadership came soon after BharatPe completed its $100 million debt round from InnoVen Capital and Credit Saison. Entrackr exclusively reported the development in January. Financially, BharatPe is also getting back on track as the firm recorded its first profitable month in October 2023. The company claimed that its annualized revenue crossed Rs 1,500 crore, marking over 30% growth as compared to FY23. In FY23, it crossed Rs 1,000 crore revenue mark while its EBITDA loss went up 9% to Rs 772 crore.
