Bullish on India’s UPI, neo-banking and credit growth story: Razorpay
Medial

Razorpay, a full-stack payments and banking platform for businesses, is bullish on India’s fintech story on the back of growth gems like UPI, neo-banking and credit, which happen to be its fast-growing businesses in India. “The growth of payments has been exponential in the last few years. There were 10 billion UPI payments last month and that speaks of the kind of scale we’ve achieved. There are 200-300 million Indians who are paying via UPI but we have a population of more than 1 billion. While the payments pool has expanded from 30 million people to now 300 million people, it still has some distance to go,” Shashank Kumar, Founder & Managing Director, Razorpay told Business Today.

Slice rolls out UPI credit card and opens UPI-powered bank branch in Bengaluru According to the company, the Slice UPI credit card comes with no joining or annual charges. Users can scan QR codes or make UPI payments to access their credit lines. Fintech company Slice has launched a UPI credit card and opened a UPI-powered physical bank branch in Bengaluru, following its merger with North East Small Finance Bank. The Slice UPI credit card offers up to 3% cashback on all spends and includes a feature called Slice in 3, allowing customers to convert purchases into three interest-free instalments. The newly opened branch in Koramangala includes UPI-integrated services, self-service kiosks, and a UPI-enabled ATM supporting deposits and withdrawals. Customers can also open accounts and access other banking products at the branch. Slice aims to integrate credit more closely with UPI and expand access to users outside the traditional credit ecosystem. Unlike most fintech companies that rely on third-party banking partners, Slice operates as a bank, controlling its infrastructure, including core banking systems and credit underwriting. Slice recently passed a resolution to rebrand North East Small Finance Bank as Slice Small Finance Bank. The merger was completed in October last year. In a media interview, Slice founder Rajan Bajaj said the bank has turned profitable on a monthly basis and the group aims to go public in the next three to four years. The Bengaluru-based company has raised nearly $400 million in funding, including a $220 million Series B round led by Tiger Global and Insight Partners. Tiger Global is the largest stakeholder, followed by Insight Partners.
