"Account Aggregator framework is the backbone of India’s Data Economy. It is analogous to UPI which millions of people already use. While UPI facilitates the transfer of value, Account Aggregators facilitate the transfer of Data with user Consent. With the impetus provided by RBI and MeitY, this is going to be integral part of embedded finance. We are happy to partner with Finvu and drive the company’s vision together.” said Aparajit Bhandarkar, Partner at Varanium Capital. 

Finvu-AA is among the first NBFC account aggregators in India to have received the operational license from RBI and is currently the leading AA in the market.
