Ahead of IPO, PayU receives final Payment Aggregator license PayU has received final authorization from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to operate as an online Payment Aggregator. This allows the fintech firm to onboard new merchants onto its platform. In April 2024, PayU received in-principle approval from the RBI to operate as a payment aggregator. “As we move forward, we remain dedicated to building a resilient, compliant, inclusive, and innovation-driven institution—one that serves merchants of all sizes and contributes meaningfully to the Digital India vision of the RBI and the Government,” said a PayU spokesperson. The development comes at a time when PayU is planning for its IPO, eyeing a public listing during the second half of 2025. The company also appointed Pramod Rao as its Chief Risk Officer, who will oversee risk management, regulatory compliance, and strengthen the organization’s financial and operational risk framework. PayU has acquired a 43.5% stake in real-time payments technology firm Mindgate Solutions, enhancing its footprint in India’s real-time payments space and leveraging Mindgate’s expertise to drive digital payment innovation globally. Several other startups have secured authorization from the RBI as payment aggregators. MobiKwik’s subsidiary Zaakpay and PB Fintech’s subsidiary PB Pay received in-principle approval, and BharatPe’s Resilient Payments was granted final approval. Earlier this year, cross-border payments company Skydo received in-principle authorization from the RBI to operate as a Payment Aggregator-Cross Border (PA-CB) entity.
