PayU gets nod from Indian Reserve Bank to resume onboarding new merchants
PayU, the global online payments service provider wholly owned by Prosus , has received in-principal authorisation from the Reserve Bank of India to operate as a payments aggregator after a 15-month wait.
This will allow the fintech to resume onboarding new merchants and follows a directive from the RBI in December 2022 that affected a number of operators, including PayU. It was then for its licence in January 2023 - with a complex corporate structure said to be one of the contributing factors - though it continued to service existing merchants.
PayU enables businesses to collect online and offline payments across 150+ payment modes.
