CCAvenue.com, the brand preferred by more than 1 lakh web businesses in India announced an addition to its Direct Debit Engine today. The payment gateway has inked a partnership with Janata Sahakari Bank, a multi-state co-operative bank headquartered in Pune. With this alliance, CCAvenue continues to expand its extensive portfolio of 200+ payment options for the benefit of its diverse merchant base.

Janata Sahakari Bank was founded in October 1949. Since then, the bank has made steady progress and successfully multiplied its network to 68 branches and 2 extension counters spanning across Maharashtra, Khedbrahma, a town in Gujarat and a few surrounding areas. Janata Sahakari Bank offers a multitude of banking facilities including loan and deposit schemes, online banking account called JSB Easy Net, bill payments, life insurance (as a corporate agent of Max Life Insurance), foreign exchange services and ATM cum Debit card to its well-established customer base. In the last quarter of 2016, the bank had nearly 14 lakh customers and was working towards adding 2 lakh new customers in the following financial year.

Through the addition of Janata Sahakari Bank's internet banking facility, CCAvenue.com is further strengthening its Direct Debit Engine, which is currently the largest in the country, consisting of more than 57 banks. The partnership will offer registered eCommerce merchants an opportunity to maximize their revenue earnings through the humongous customer base of the bank. Further, it will also enable all Janata Sahakari Bank account holders to make online payments conveniently on nearly 1 lakh websites powered by CCAvenue.

Being India's largest third-party payment aggregator, CCAvenue aims to continue growing its network and making digital payments more accessible by building alliances with three times as many banks by the end of this fiscal year. As the company rolls out more and more payment options this year, eCommerce businesses can look forward to making some great progress ahead.
