This achievement reinforces their pledge to deliver seamless, innovative, and dependable payment solutions, strengthening their reputation as a reliable partner for businesses seeking success in the digital economy.

More companies received payment aggregator licenses

EnKash along with other fintech startups such as Cashfree Payments, OPEN, Razorpay, and more were granted payment aggregator licences in December 2023. This came over a year after the RBI had reportedly halted merchant onboarding by some fintechs until they received the final approval, following in-principle approval, to operate as a payment aggregator.

OPEN’s founders stated that this approval not only acknowledges their dedication to regulatory standards but also signifies a significant leap in fortifying their commitment to SMEs. The enhanced capabilities will bolster their financial automation platforms, providing SMEs with advanced tools to streamline their financial operations and thrive in the digital era.

A Cashfree Payments’ spokesperson also said the company is now onboarding new merchants on its payment gateway with the license from the RBI. They are happy about this new phase of their journey, where they continue to drive exponential growth and retain their market leadership as the preferred aggregator in the payments space.
