New Delhi: Global payment services leader Worldline ePaymentsIndia on Tuesday announced that they have been granted authorisation by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to operate as an Online Payment Aggregator (PA) under the Payment and Settlement Systems Act, 2007.

The company received in-principle authorisation from the RBI to act as a PA in 2022.

"We’ve been in the Indian market for more than two decades and have built a leadership position. We work with merchants from various segments such as eCommerce, BFSI, retail, utilities, education, travel, and hospitality for digital payments," Ramesh Narasimhan, CEO, India, Worldline, said in a statement.
