EximPe, has secured the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) Payment Aggregator Cross-Border (PA-CB) In-Principle licence (Export and Import).

With this approval, EximPe is poised to accelerate the development of a fully regulated cross-border payments infrastructure designed specifically for the dynamic needs of digital services, e-commerce platforms, and B2B goods trade across Asia’s emerging markets. The PA-CB licence empowers the company to move beyond its role as a technology enabler to deliver end-to-end, compliant cross-border pay-in and pay-out solutions for businesses seeking to scale internationally.

This advancement comes at a pivotal moment for India’s digital trade ecosystem. By streamlining global transactions and easing regulatory complexities, EximPe aims to unlock new growth opportunities for thousands of small and medium enterprises (SMEs), manufacturers, and service providers. The company’s robust, technology-driven platform has already processed over USD 450 million in transactions for a growing customer base exceeding 5,000 businesses.

Arjun Zacharia, CEO and Founder of EximPe, said, “Securing the PA-CB licence is a defining step in our mission to build the region’s most trusted cross-border payments infrastructure. It validates the trust our stakeholders place in us and reinforces our commitment to enabling businesses to thrive across the high-growth India-Asia corridor. We are committed to simplifying the inherent complexities of cross-border trade and empowering our clients to expand confidently into new markets. With this licence, we are setting our sights on scaling our business tenfold by the end of FY 2026.”

EximPe’s regulatory upgrade is expected to have far-reaching implications for the broader fintech ecosystem as well. By combining regulatory rigour with agile, customer-centric solutions, the company is well-positioned to address persistent frictions in international trade finance and to help Indian exporters and importers compete more effectively on the global stage.

Looking ahead, EximPe plans to deepen its market presence across key Asian trade corridors, invest in cutting-edge compliance and security infrastructure, and forge strategic partnerships to expand its service offerings. This forward-thinking roadmap aligns with the company’s vision to become the backbone of seamless, secure, and scalable cross-border payment flows for the region’s rapidly growing digital economy.
