Money Control

“Unified Payments Interface (UPI) leader PhonePe is launching its own payment gateway as an extension to its current Quick Response (QR) Code-based UPI payment service and in-app payments. The company will be competing with the likes of Paytm, Pine Labs and Razorpay as it may look at targeting large offline players as well as small and medium businesses to offer its payment gateway to, according to sources. “PhonePe had been working on this for a while. Around two months ago, they informed their payments partners that they are working on a payment gateway. They had reached out to payment partners in good faith since they will be competing with them,” said a payments executive aware of PhonePe’s plans. While the Walmart-backed company did not comment on the development, it has recently added a tab for its payment gateway on its website as one of its offerings for businesses.”
