Yuze Digital Partners With airpay India to Expand Digital Payments

Yuze Digital India Private Limited has entered into a strategic alliance with airpay India to expand digital payment acceptance and acquiring capabilities as part of its India growth strategy.

The partnership strengthens Yuze’s position across the payments value chain by adding acquiring infrastructure to its existing issuance-led prepaid payment instrument capabilities. Together, the partnerships are designed to support digital collections, payment acceptance and transaction processing through a more connected platform.

What Does the Yuze-Airpay Partnership Add to Yuze’s India Strategy?

The alliance gives Yuze access to complementary acquiring and payment acceptance capabilities through airpay, strengthening the infrastructure behind its India proposition.

Yuze’s strategy now spans two important sides of the payments ecosystem:

Payments capability	Yuze’s India strategy
Issuing	Existing partnership supporting prepaid payment instruments
Acquiring	New alliance with airpay India
Payment acceptance	Digital payment acceptance for businesses and platforms
Collections	Digital collections and transaction processing
Financial management	A broader, connected platform for business payments

This approach allows Yuze to build its India offering through partnerships rather than relying on a single payments infrastructure layer.

How Will airpay Support Digital Payment Acceptance?

airpay India will strengthen the acquiring and payment acceptance layer of Yuze’s platform, enabling businesses to receive and process digital payments through scalable infrastructure.

The partnership is expected to support several capabilities, including:

• Digital payment acceptance
• Merchant and business collections
• Transaction processing
• Acquiring infrastructure
• Scalable payment operations
• Integration of payment services into broader financial workflows

For Yuze, this complements its existing issuance capabilities and creates a more comprehensive payments proposition for businesses operating in India.

What Did Yuze Digital and airpay Executives Say About the Alliance?

Rabih Sfeir, CEO of Yuze Digital, said India is a strategic market for the company and that Yuze is focused on establishing partnerships across the payments value chain.

He added that the airpay alliance strengthens the acquiring and payment acceptance component of Yuze’s India proposition while complementing the issuance foundation it has already established.

Kunal Jhunjhunwala, Founder of airPay India, said the company aims to provide businesses and platforms with seamless, secure and scalable digital payment acceptance. He described the alliance as a collaboration around technology and operational capabilities that will support Yuze’s expansion of its digital financial ecosystem in India.

Why Is Yuze Building a Partnership-Led Payments Ecosystem?

The alliance reflects Yuze’s broader partnership-led approach to financial infrastructure in India.

Rather than focusing on a single payments function, Yuze is bringing together partners across issuing, acquiring and digital financial services. This can allow the company to connect different stages of the payment journey within a single business-facing experience.

The strategy ultimately aims to give businesses a more integrated way to accept payments, manage collections and access financial management capabilities.

For Yuze, the airpay partnership therefore represents more than an acquiring relationship. It adds another layer to the company’s India payments infrastructure and moves its proposition toward a broader, connected financial ecosystem.

What Does the Yuze-Airpay Alliance Mean for India’s Payments Ecosystem?

The partnership expands Yuze’s India payments capabilities across both issuing and acquiring, with the companies targeting greater connectivity between payment acceptance, collections and financial management.

While the announcement does not disclose a transaction value, customer count or specific launch timeline, it establishes airpay as Yuze’s acquiring and payment acceptance partner in India, complementing Yuze’s previously announced issuance-led partnership.

As Yuze continues its India expansion, the ability to combine multiple payments infrastructure layers through strategic partners could become an important part of its financial ecosystem strategy.
