RBI Grants In-Principle Approval to PB Pay as Online Payment Aggregator

3 weeks ago Indian Markets 3 Mins Read

PB Fintech, the parent company of Policybazaar, announces that its wholly-owned subsidiary, PB Pay Private Limited (PB Pay), has received in-principle authorization from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to operate as an online payment aggregator under the Payment and Settlement Systems Act, 2007. This approval, granted on April 15, 2025, allows PB Pay to facilitate online payment processing for merchants, acting as an intermediary between them and customers. The in-principle authorization is subject to PB Pay adhering to the RBI’s guidelines on the regulation of payment aggregators and payment gateways issued on March 17, 2020, and subsequent clarifications. PB Fintech had previously announced the incorporation of PB Pay with a paid-up share capital of ₹27 crore to pursue this license. If PB Pay receives the final authorization, it will be able to offer services similar to other payment aggregators in the market.

Key Insights:

The primary focus of this news is PB Fintech’s strategic expansion into the digital payments space. Receiving the in-principle approval from the RBI is a significant milestone for the company’s subsidiary, PB Pay. This move positions PB Fintech to diversify its revenue streams beyond insurance and lending aggregation. Key events include the initial announcement of setting up PB Pay in the previous year, the application to the RBI for the Payment Aggregator (PA) license, and the recent granting of the in-principle approval. The potential impact on PB Fintech’s stock could be positive as investors may view this as a growth opportunity. The entry of PB Pay into the payment aggregation market could increase competition in the sector, potentially affecting existing players. Sectors that could be indirectly impacted include e-commerce and online services, which rely on payment aggregators for transaction processing.

Investment Implications:

This development suggests a potential long-term growth avenue for PB Fintech. The company’s existing customer base from Policybazaar and Paisabazaar could provide a ready market for PB Pay’s services. Investors should monitor the company’s progress in securing the final authorization from the RBI and its strategy for entering the competitive payment aggregator market. Correlating this news with the increasing adoption of digital payments in India and the government’s push for a cashless economy, this move appears strategically aligned. However, investors should also consider the regulatory landscape and the competitive intensity in the payment aggregator space. Actionable advice for investors would be to keep PB Fintech on their watchlist and analyze its future announcements regarding PB Pay’s operational launch and market penetration.
