Curie Money receives NPCI approval, goes live across India Curie Money, a fintech platform focused on savings and payments, has received final approval from the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) to expand its services nationwide. With this approval, Curie has exited its beta phase and is now live for all users on Android and iOS. Curie previously raised $1.2 million (Rs 10 crore) in seed funding in December 2024, led by India Quotient with participation from other investors. Founded by Arindam Ghosh and Tushar Choudhary, Curie Money operates as a mutual fund–backed UPI app that enables users to invest, spend, and manage money seamlessly. It holds an AMFI mutual fund distribution license and NPCI approval for UPI operations. It allows users to grow their money in liquid mutual funds while maintaining instant access through UPI payments. The platform combines investment and payments, enabling users to earn daily returns and spend instantly from the same balance. The product operates through partnerships with YES Bank and asset management companies including ICICI Prudential and Bajaj Finserv. It complies with mutual fund and payment regulations to ensure secure transactions. Users earn returns of up to 6.7% annually through liquid mutual funds, with every UPI payment processed by instantly redeeming the required amount. The model aims to replicate money market systems used in developed economies by linking liquidity and returns in a single product.

Infibeam’s Rediff.com secures NPCI license to offer UPI services Infibeam Avenues announced that its subsidiary, Rediff.com, has received a Third-Party Application Provider (TPAP) license from the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) for its digital payment platform, RediffPay. According to the company, NPCI's official communication confirmed the approval, with Axis Bank serving as the Payment System Provider (PSP). This license enables RediffPay to offer Unified Payments Interface (UPI) services to its users, marking Infibeam Avenues' strategic entry into the consumer-facing digital payments sector. The company had previously applied for the TPAP license following its acquisition of a controlling stake in Rediff in 2024. In August 2024, Infibeam Avenues acquired a 54% stake in Rediff.com India to relaunch Rediff.com as a consumer-facing digital financial services aggregator. “We are thrilled that our subsidiary has received the TPAP license from NPCI, allowing us to extend UPI services through RediffPay. This milestone aligns with our vision to enhance financial inclusivity and offer seamless digital payment solutions to consumers across India,” said Vishal Mehta, Chairman and MD of Infibeam Avenues. RediffPay aims to leverage Rediff's substantial web traffic and Infibeam's fintech expertise to provide a user-friendly platform for secure and efficient digital transactions. The company plans to introduce a range of financial services, including credit and wealth management products, to cater to the diverse needs of its users. This development follows Infibeam Avenues' recent achievements, including receiving final authorization from the Reserve Bank of India to operate as a Payment Aggregator for its flagship payment gateway brand, CCAvenue. Infibeam’s revenue from operations spiked to Rs 1,070 crore in Q3 FY25 from Rs 907 crore in Q3 FY24. The company’s profit after tax rose 50% to Rs 64.4 crore during the period.
