Mswipe is a leading digital payment and financial solutions
company supporting the growing merchant community across India. Their product
suite consists of various POS terminals, from portable palm-size devices to
various Smart POS options, QR Code, and the latest launch Boombox that provides
alerts via sound and display to merchants. Mswipe is known for launching
multiple industry-first products.
With the participation of current investors, Mswipe Technologies
has raised a $20 million growth equity round led by Alpha Wave Global. The
Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has granted the digital payments company a licence
to operate as a payment aggregator (PA). It's important to note that the
Mumbai-based company has not received investment in nearly five years. Several
well-known investors, including Matrix Partners, B Capital, DSG Consumer
Partners, Epiq Capital, UC-RNT, and Ola, have contributed more than $125
million to the firm to date. According to a news release from the company, the
new funding would enable Mswipe to grow its merchant payment network and
enhance its technology infrastructure and product development. Mswipe provides a
host of offline and online payment acceptance solutions, including
point-of-sale devices, UPI, quick response codes and payment links to help
offline merchants receive payments digitally. As mentioned above, Mswipe was recently
granted the PA licence, which now enables the firm to provide full-stack
payment technology providing omni-channel solutions. The PA license solidifies
the company’s objective to enhance its suite of offerings while delivering
secure payment technology to banking partners, enterprises, and merchants
across categories, Mswipe had said in a statement. According to a statement from
Mswipe, the PA licence confirms the company's goal of improving its range of
products and providing safe payment technology to businesses, banks, and
retailers in all categories.
Now, Mswipe has joined the ranks of companies that have recently
been given permission by the RBI to function as online payment aggregation
platforms, including Zomato, Decentro, Zoho, Juspay, Razorpay, Cashfree, Open,
and Enkash. According to a startup data intelligence platform, Mswipe's
operational revenue climbed from Rs 241 crore in FY22 to Rs 274 crore in FY23,
a 13.69% rise. From Rs 90 crore in FY22 to Rs 49 crore in FY23, its losses
decreased by 45.36%. For the last five quarters, the company says, it has been
profitable at an EBITDA level.
