The payments firm, which received in-principle approval for a payment aggregator licence in 2022 and final authorisation to facilitate domestic transactions in January 2024, switched to an invite-only model requiring Indian merchants to join a waitlist later that year, after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) proposed stricter know-your-customer (KYC) norms.
