Razorpay, through Razorpay Curlec, has partnered with NPCI International Payments Limited (NIPL) to enable UPI payments in Malaysia. Indian travellers will be able to pay Malaysian merchants using UPI apps, with settlement in Malaysian Ringgit (RM). The integration removes the need for cash or international cards for Indian visitors. Malaysian merchants will receive payments in local currency through Razorpay Curlec. Razorpay Curlec will offer UPI acceptance to businesses across sectors including retail, travel, hospitality, and small enterprises. In 2024, more than one million Indian tourists visited Malaysia and spent over Rs 110 billion. The partnership aims to simplify cross-border payments and improve payment acceptance for merchants serving Indian visitors. UPI processed 19.6 billion transactions in India in September 2025. The arrangement gives Malaysian businesses access to Indian UPI users and supports cross-border payments with instant settlement. Razorpay Curlec currently supports recurring payments, card payments, payouts, subscription management, and billing solutions for businesses in Malaysia. The company will use the partnership to expand its cross-border payment stack and merchant network. NIPL focuses on expanding UPI and RuPay outside India through partnerships with payment service providers and central payment networks. The Malaysia launch is part of NIPL’s plan to enable UPI acceptance in international markets. UPI has expanded to several new countries, including France and the UAE, with agreements in place for Namibia, Trinidad and Tobago, and Peru. It is already operational in Bhutan, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Mauritius, and Nepal, and recently went live in Qatar.

Following a strong performance in FY24, payments and business banking platform Razorpay posted a 65% year-on-year growth in its consolidated revenue to Rs 3,783 crore, up from Rs 2,296 crore in FY24. According to the company, its growth in the last fiscal year has been driven by solid execution across its payment gateway, banking, POS, and international businesses, the company said in a statement. The Bengaluru-based firm’s gross profit grew 41% year-on-year to Rs 1,277 crore from Rs 906 crore. Despite robust top-line growth, Razorpay reported a loss in FY25 after accounting for ESOP-related expenses of Rs 1,209 crore. The company attributed the losses to restructuring and tax costs linked to its redomiciling to India. Razorpay highlighted its strong cash position, which gives it the flexibility to invest in innovation and long-term expansion. The company plans to accelerate product-led growth and deepen investments across its core fintech stack, AI-first products, and financial infrastructure. It continues to expand internationally, especially in Southeast Asian markets such as Malaysia and Singapore. Founded in 2014 by IIT Roorkee alumni Shashank Kumar and Harshil Mathur, Razorpay has raised over $800 million from investors including Lightspeed, Tiger Global, Peak XV Partners, and GIC. After completing its reverse flip to India, the company converted into a public entity in April 2025. Recently, Razorpay also invested $30 million to acquire rewards-first UPI payments app POP.
