With the inclusion of Suryoday Small Finance Bank, online businesses using CCAvenue's innovative payment platform will benefit significantly. The integration will enable merchants to maximize their revenue by offering them access to the entire and fast-growing customer base of Suryoday Bank. In addition, the bank will also gain from this partnership. It will achieve enhanced brand visibility on leading eCommerce websites powered by CCAvenue. All Suryoday Bank customers will be able to make instant and secure payments on 1 lakh+ websites across various industry verticals such as hospitality, online shopping, travel, education, etc.

Being India's largest third-party payment aggregator, CCAvenue aims to continue growing its network by partnering with three times as many banks by the end of this fiscal year.
