With the help of BharatPe QR, the company at present provides a single interface for all existing UPI apps and allows merchants to accept UPI payments for free. It also supports merchants to access credit and other value-added services.
Speaking about the partnership Innoven Capital India CEO Ashish Sharma said, “We are excited to partner with BharatPe as their first institutional debt provider. BharatPe is not only helping millions of merchants to accept UPI payments seamlessly but also enabling them access to credit, which has been a pain point.”
Sharma further said his company is looking forward towards the partnership’s ambitious growth agenda.
