We can now serve our enterprise clients (banks, merchants, and NBFCs) with a complete suite of recurring payment options with a single integration. Most importantly, LotusPay’s approach to products and technology has seamlessly aligned with Juspay’s tenets. Joining hands, we look forward to serving our customers in this growing market of recurring payments.”
