Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) now a reality - CCAvenue becomes India's first Payment Aggregator to support the digital rupee for online retail payments
In yet another industry-first move, aimed at further strengthening and boosting India's digital payments ecosystem, CCAvenue will now offer Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) as a payment solution on our platform in partnership with leading banks. This development comes shortly after CCAvenue received the Payment Aggregator License from RBI. We are India's first Payment Gateway to support RBI's digital rupee and will soon be implementing it for our merchants on a case to case basis. You will be able to accept digital rupee from your customers delivering greater flexibility and convenience. CBDC is the currency issued by the central bank in a digital form, which is exchangeable at par with the existing paper currency and shall be accepted as legal tender and a medium of payment. CCAvenue is proud to be a part of Retail CBDC, which is anticipated to be a more robust, efficient, trusted and legal tender-based payment option. This will be our first step in harnessing RBI's most reliable payment method to generate exponential revenue opportunities for your online business.
