As a digital payments pioneer, we have been at the forefront of India’s digital revolution and are widely used across the country from small villages to bigger cities and towns. We have also pioneered the QR code revolution in India.
From offline payment devices to credit, we are enabling merchants with robust business solutions to scale their businesses. We have disbursed 9.2 million loans in the second quarter of FY23, registering a 224% Y-o-Y growth in volume. Meanwhile, the total value of loans disbursed during the quarter grew 482% Y-o-Y to ₹7,313 Cr ($894 million). We have further strengthened our leadership in offline payments with the number of devices deployed exceeding 4.8 million as of Q2 FY23, with over 1 million new deployments during the second quarter.
We are committed to our mission of driving financial inclusion in the country and bringing half a billion unserved and underserved Indians to the mainstream economy. This is in line with the government’s mission to transform India into a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy. With technology-led innovations in financial services and products, we have created a formidable digital infrastructure that is catalysing India’s techade.
