In the rapidly evolving financial landscape, Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) are increasingly exploring new avenues to enhance their service offerings. One such opportunity lies in obtaining a Payment Aggregator (PA) license. This guide aims to provide a detailed overview of what a Payment Aggregator license entails, its benefits, and the process of obtaining one.

 

Why NBFCs Should Consider a Payment Aggregator License

  • Revenue Diversification: Payment processing can become a significant revenue stream, complementing traditional lending and financial services.
  • Customer Convenience: Providing a seamless payment experience can enhance customer satisfaction and loyalty.
