 Payoneer India, a subsidiary of Payoneer Global (“Payoneer” or the “Company”), the global financial technology company powering business growth across borders, was granted In-Principle authorisation from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to operate as a Payment Aggregator – Cross Border (PA-CB) for facilitating Inward and Outward transactions

This is a step in enabling Payoneer to expand its operations in India and provide end-to-end cross-border payment solutions to Indian importers and exporters for inward and Outward cross-border transactions. Indian MSMEs will be able to use a broader range of Payoneer products, including accounts payable features and experience streamlined onboarding and “Know Your Customer” (KYC) processes. 

“Our in-principle authorisation from the Reserve Bank of India is a testament to our more than decade-long presence in the local market and support of India’s thriving export economy, which is projected by the India Department of Commerce to exceed USD 850 billion in 2026,” said Rohit Kulkarni, CEO, Payoneer India. “With the PA-CB authorisation, we will be equipped to provide comprehensive cross-border payment solutions for both import (Outward) and export (Inward) transactions, helping Indian businesses tap into new opportunities and scale globally.” 

“This in-principle authorization is an important step toward further expanding Payoneer’s global regulatory infrastructure and strengthening our regulatory foundation in India, reflecting our long-term commitment to the market,” said Tsafi Goldman, Chief Legal and Governance Officer, Payoneer. “With our growing team on the ground, we’re continuing to invest in India while at the same time empowering MSMEs across the region to scale their businesses globally through our regulated platform.”  

Payoneer supports customers in over 190 countries and territories, leveraging a robust network of nearly 100 banking and payment service provider partnerships. Over the trailing 12 months as of Q3 2025, the Company served nearly two million active customers and processed over USD 80 billion in transaction volume. With around 100 dedicated customer success managers across 35 countries, fluent in more than 20 languages, Payoneer builds strong, local relationships with MSMEs to help them grow and scale globally.
