Event Summary

MobiKwik has received in-principle approval from the State Bank of India for a Payment Aggregator-Physical (PA-P) licence. This regulatory milestone allows MobiKwik to aggressively scale its offline merchant payments business across India, targeting a 10x growth in its merchant business by FY28. The company plans to significantly ramp up deployments of Soundbox and EDC devices, focusing on small businesses, oil and gas outlets, and organised retail. This development follows a previous approval for an NBFC licence for its lending arm, Wiinance Financial Services Private Ltd, and complements its existing online payment aggregation licence held by its subsidiary Zaakpay. The move is expected to enhance MobiKwik's monetization opportunities through MDR, subscription income, and device rentals, and leverage merchant transaction data for credit distribution, strengthening its position in India's rapidly growing digital economy.
