EximPe Gets RBI Approval for Cross-Border Payment Aggregator License

In a move that marks a significant milestone in India's evolving fintech ecosystem, EximPe has received in-principle approval from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) for a Payment Aggregator – Cross Border (PA-CB) licence. This approval positions EximPe to become a major player in enabling seamless pay-ins and pay-outs for cross-border e-commerce, digital services, and B2B trade within emerging Asian markets.

Regulatory Recognition and Market Position

EximPe now joins the select group of startups, including Skydo, BriskPe, PayPal, and Wise, that have received similar in-principle approvals from the RBI. Meanwhile, currently, Adyen India, Amazon Pay India, Cashfree Payments, BillDesk, Pay10, and Worldline ePayments India have been granted full PA-CB licences. 

With 7 other companies still awaiting regulatory review, EximPe’s early clearance gives it a strategic edge in India’s rapidly expanding cross-border payments sector.

Growth Ambitions and Vision

The company has ambitious plans, aiming to grow tenfold by the end of FY26. Arjun Zacharia, CEO and Founder of EximPe, stated, “With this licence, EximPe is uniquely positioned to support businesses expanding in the highest growth global corridor between India and Asia, while simplifying complex regulatory and financial requirements. With the PA-CB licence, we want to expand our business by 10X by the end of FY 2026.”

So far, EximPe has processed over $450 million in transactions and currently serves more than 5,000 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), manufacturers, and service providers. With the new licence, the company aims to enhance its infrastructure and deepen its reach across the region.

Backed by Investor Confidence

According to Tracxn, EximPe has raised $3.5 million in equity funding to date. The firm intends to use this financial backing to solidify its position as a premier cross-border payment infrastructure provider, particularly for SMEs navigating complex international payment landscapes.
