CCAvenue to augment its payment stack with DBS Bank's EMI facility
29th November, 2023
With the objective of increasing the revenue stream of its mammoth merchant base further, CCAvenue, Infibeam Avenues' advanced omni-channel payments platform, will soon offer DBS Bank's EMI facility in its Multi Bank Equated Monthly Instalment (EMI) offering. CCAvenue payment gateway is already the provider of maximum EMI options in India, offering credit card-based EMI facilities of over 15 leading banks as well as debit card based EMI options.

DBS Bank established its presence in India nearly 30 years ago, setting up its first office in Mumbai in 1994. Known for its global financial leadership, DBS is a leading financial services group in Asia spread across 19 markets. It was ranked among the top 3 on Forbes' list of the World's Best Banks in India consecutively from 2020 to 2022. DBS offers a full range of consumer, SME, and corporate banking services. In 2016, it launched digibank, India's first mobile-only bank that now has over a million savings accounts. The bank's vast network comprises more than 530 branches in 19 Indian states.

CCAvenue's partnership with DBS will soon enable the bank's customers to make convenient purchases for high value products in easy instalments over a pre-set timeframe. The addition of this new payment option will further consolidate the existing card-based EMI payment feature, enabling millions of eCommerce websites powered by CCAvenue to optimise earnings and grow their businesses substantially.

Commenting on this move, Mr. T. Nandakumar Menon, Sr. Vice President - Alliances and Operations, Infibeam Avenues Ltd stated: "We at CCAvenue are thrilled to collaborate with DBS Bank, which is well known for its innovative banking capabilities and brilliant performance over the years. This win-win partnership will throw open new business opportunities for our huge merchant base in India, while providing their customers an enhanced user experience along with the maximum number of payment options for online transactions."

In response to the changing consumer behavior in the country, Infibeam Avenues Ltd has strengthened its focus on Bank EMI offerings to cater to the aspirational lifestyle. This is particularly significant given that India has over half of its population below the age of 25 years and more than 65% below the age of 35 years as per recent estimates. Through the introduction of new EMI and BNPL payment options on its comprehensive platform, CCAvenue payment aggregator has emerged as a key Fintech player in India's ever growing credit ecosystem.
