EximPe gets final PA-CB licence to process UPI cross-border payments
Medial

EximPe, a cross-border payment startup, has received final authorisation from the Reserve Bank of India for the Payment Aggregator Cross Border (PA-CB) licence. The approval allows EximPe to enable global merchants to collect payments from Indian customers through UPI and other local payment methods, with settlements into offshore accounts. With the PA-CB licence, EximPe can allow international merchants and payment platforms to collect via UPI, cards, wallets, net banking, and bank transfers from India without setting up a local Indian entity. The company said this will help improve payment success rates and reduce friction for cross-border collections. Prior to receiving the licence, EximPe operated as a technology service provider to banking partners and has facilitated over $500 million in bank-led cross-border trade payments across Asia corridors. The company has now transitioned to operating directly as a cross-border payment aggregator under the RBI framework. According to EximPe, it aims to process $1 billion in annualised UPI-led cross-border transactions over the next 24 months. Founded by Arjun Zacharia, EximPe operates across corridors such as India–China, India–Hong Kong, India–Singapore, and India–ASEAN, and focuses on enabling compliant, UPI-led cross-border payment infrastructure for global businesses. EximPe has raised $3.5 million in seed funding led by Leo Capital, with participation from Beta Lab, RB Investments, along with several angel investors. In recent months, RBI approved online, offline and cross border payment aggregation for around half a dozen companies. These include Razorpay POS, 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.

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.
