Fino Payments Bank Gets RBI Nod For International Money Transfer Service

The bank has also received approval to partner one of the largest global remittance service providers as its overseas principal

New Delhi: Fino Payments Bank on Monday said that it got approval from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) for starting international money transfer services scheme (MTSS).

The bank will undertake inward cross-border money transfer activities in association with an overseas principal, the details of which are being worked out.

It has also received the approval to partner one of the largest global remittance service providers as its overseas principal.

The customer segment of Fino Bank at the middle of the pyramid is targeted to families of many of the people working in foreign countries, Fino Bank said.

The money remitted by family members abroad can now be directly withdrawn at the nearest micro-ATM or Aadhaar-enabled payment services (AEPS)-enabled Fino Bank's neighbourhood merchant point.

"Continuous product innovation is one of the core pillars of our model. International remittance further enhances our transaction-based product offerings. We will be ready to offer the inward remittance services to our customers by the first quarter of 2022-23. In sync with our digital strategy to enhance customer experience, we will also look at having this product on our mobile application as well," Fino Payments Bank Chief Operating Officer Major Ashish Ahuja said.

According to a latest World Bank report in November 2021, India is expected to be the largest recipient of remittances globally in 2021 with expected receipt of $87 billion.

This is expected to grow by 3 per cent in 2022 to $89.6 billion as a large number of workers are expected to return to the gulf countries. India is followed by China, Mexico, Philippines, Egypt, Pakistan, and Bangladesh.
