With its final IFSCA licence secured, Razorpay says its new infrastructure can help brokers and wealth platforms launch international payment services in weeks rather than months.
Razorpay has rolled out payment infrastructure in GIFT City after receiving its final Payment Service Provider licence from India’s International Financial Services Centres Authority, marking a broader push to support cross-border investment flows through a regulated hub. The move is aimed at brokers and wealth platforms that want to let customers move money abroad and bring returns back through the same system, without stitching together multiple banking and compliance arrangements, according to the company and reports on the launch.
The Bengaluru-based fintech is pitching the service as a single connection point for global investing, international collections, settlements and multi-currency transactions. In practice, that means platforms can handle payment routing, reporting and regulatory checks within one framework rather than building separate links to banks, remittance providers and back-office systems. Razorpay says that approach can cut implementation time to roughly two or three weeks, compared with the months such integrations often require.
Razorpay has already connected with RBL Bank and ICICI Bank, with more banking partners expected to follow. Industry reporting around the launch says the infrastructure is intended to help investment platforms go live more quickly while still meeting the requirements of FEMA and GIFT City rules. That matters at a time when Indian investors are sending more money overseas: Reserve Bank of India data cited in the coverage shows residents invested about $2.65 billion in foreign stocks and debt in FY26, up 56% from a year earlier.
The launch also reflects the growing importance of GIFT City as a destination for fintech and financial services firms seeking a clearer route into cross-border business. Economic Times has reported that payment companies and wealth platforms have increasingly looked to the jurisdiction for international payment capabilities, including foreign-currency activity and overseas transfers. Razorpay’s entry suggests the regulatory zone is becoming not just a financial centre in name, but a practical operating base for firms trying to serve investors with global ambitions.
