Razorpay POS gets RBI approval for offline payment aggregator licence Razorpay POS, the offline payments arm of Razorpay, has received the Payment Aggregator Physical (PA-P) licence from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). With this approval, Razorpay now holds all three key RBI payment licences: online payment aggregator, offline (physical) payment aggregator, and cross-border payment aggregator, placing it among a small group of fintech companies authorised to operate end-to-end across India’s payments ecosystem. 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. The PA-P licence allows Razorpay POS to onboard merchants and process in-store digital payments at scale, covering large retailers, enterprises, and small and medium businesses. The company already operates across India’s offline commerce ecosystem through devices such as mPOS terminals, smart POS machines, soundboxes, and pin-on-mobile solutions. Razorpay entered the offline payments segment in 2022 through the acquisition of Ezetap, which was later rebranded as Razorpay POS. Since then, the company has expanded its physical payments footprint alongside its core online payments business. With the offline licence in place, Razorpay can now offer a fully compliant payment infrastructure across digital, in-store, and cross-border transactions.

Snippets EximPe secures RBI PA-CB in-principle licence EximPe, a cross-border payment startup, has secured the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) Payment Aggregator Cross-Border (PA-CB) In-Principle licence (export and import). According to EximPe, this makes the company one of the first to receive this new regulatory authorization without any existing payments licences. With this licence, it plans to enable compliant cross-border pay-ins and pay-outs for digital services, e-commerce, and B2B goods trade, serving businesses across Asian emerging markets. The PA-CB licence will significantly enhance the company’s ability to facilitate seamless cross-border payments and simplify compliance for businesses engaged in international trade. The licence will enable the startup to transition from a technology platform enabling cross border payments to being able to provide a fully regulated cross border infra play. Founded in 2021 by Arjun Zacharia, EximPe is an all-in-one platform that provides real time rate booking, compliance, and trade documentation for businesses. The company serves a range of businesses who trade or sell services globally. The Mumbai-based company had previously raised $3.5 million in Series A round from Leo Capital and others. “With this licence, EximPe is uniquely positioned to support businesses in expanding in the highest growth global corridor between India-Asia, while simplifying complex regulatory and financial requirements. With the PA-CB licence, we want to expand our business by 10X by the end of FY 2026,” said Arjun Zacharia, CEO and founder of EximPe. The platform claims to have already processed over $450 million in transactions and serves more than 5,000 SMEs, manufacturers, and service providers. It aims to further strengthen its position as a leading cross-border payment infrastructure provider by expanding its capabilities with this new licence.
