Worldline Gains RBI Approval for Cross-Border Payment Aggregation
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI), India's central bank, has given Worldline ePayments India permission to handle international payments for businesses that import and export goods.
This means Worldline can help Indian companies get paid when they sell to other countries and pay for goods from other countries.
This will help make it easier for businesses to handle payments.
Worldline has been operating in India for over two decades, providing payment solutions to various businesses.
They now must follow RBI rules for cross-border transactions.
