We have designed an exclusive set of benefits for MSMEs on Nirmaan that will help free up cash flows through special fee waivers on the current account variant, along with a host of partner offers to enhance business agility.”

Visa will provide comprehensive payment solutions for MSMEs through the Nirmaan platform. Its extensive network and global acceptance will also support DBS Bank India’s specially curated offerings for Nirmaan users. Amazon’s partnership with Nirmaan will help MSMEs showcase and sell their products to customers across India by listing them on Amazon.
