Cashfree CEO and co-founder Akash Sinha said: “Cashfree aims to build a bouquet of Fintech APIs to help empower businesses and individuals. Our first product under it, ‘Accounts’, will not only allow businesses to open banking accounts for their customers to collect payments and make payouts easily, but also bring their customers under the fold of digital payments.”

Cashfree counts the country’s largest lender State Bank of India among its investors and has partnered with the likes of Zomato, Cred, Nykaa, Delhivery, Acko and Shell.

Cashfree’s announcement comes shortly after the launch of the Account Aggregator (AA) system in the country.

An AA allows instant financial data sharing between Financial Information Providers (FIPs) and financial information users (FIUs).
