Neokred widens bank programme for UPI and card acquiring

By ·

PartnershipFinancial ServicesBengaluruFounded 2019
  • Neokred is a Bengaluru embedded-finance company serving more than 400 enterprise clients over seven years
  • It has expanded a partnership programme letting banks grow UPI and card acquiring among their current-account merchants under their own brand
  • The programme runs on NeoRoute, which links several payment aggregators and banks and sends each transaction down the best route

What happened

  • Banks can offer white-labelled acquiring to their own merchants.
  • The tech layer is NeoRoute, a payment orchestration platform.
  • Transactions are routed by success rate, cost and availability.
  • Merchants get one dashboard for UPI and cards.

Why it matters

  • Merchants relying on one gateway lose sales when it fails.
  • Banks get acquiring capability without building gateway integrations.

The business

  • Embedded finance infrastructure
  • Serves 400+ enterprise clients
  • Payment orchestration through NeoRoute
