Finablr Acquires Digital Payments Company TimesofMoney

Platform for Payments and Foreign Exchange solutions - Finablr has acquired TimesofMoney, a digital payments solutions provider, from Network International. The transaction strengthens the leadership of Finablr’s network of companies within India’s fast-growing payments sector.

TimesofMoney caters to institutions and merchants through its diverse portfolio of solutions, including white-labelled mobile payment platforms, payment gateways and payment aggregation solutions. Clients include some of the leading banks, payment service providers, and global financial institutions. TimesofMoney’s proprietary solutions, which are underpinned by a highly scalable infrastructure conforming to industry-leading best practices, can now be leveraged by Finablr’s global network of companies.

Promoth Manghat, Executive Director and CEO of Finablr, said, “TimesofMoney has established itself as a category-leader in India’s digital payments sector, which continues to demonstrate robust growth buoyed by the popularisation of e-commerce and the digitisation of the country’s economy. The acquisition of TimesofMoney represents a strategic move for us. The company’s technology, which many of the world’s leading organisations trust to process payments, will be integrated into the Finablr network, building on our portfolio of innovative technologies that help connect consumers and businesses, small or large, into the new economy.”

Demand for access to digital payments and seamless payment processing is growing rapidly across multiple geographies, and India is at the centre of this trend. With strong support from the Government, digital payments have taken an increasingly important role in India’s cash dominant economy. Digital payments, including the adoption of mobile wallets and cards, have soared in India following the demonetization exercise in November 2016. TimesofMoney has witnessed a substantial increase in transaction volumes processed in the last year.

As part of Finablr, TimesofMoney is well-positioned to accelerate its growth in India. Additionally, leveraging the global presence of the Finablr network will enable TimesofMoney to expand into new markets, transforming itself from a large domestic player into an international powerhouse operating in the vanguard of the digital payments industry.

Finablr’s network of companies comprises category renowned brands, which together handled more than 150 million transactions in 2017. The network spans 160+ countries and, with its strategy of financial enablement and empowerment, touches over a billion lives through its digital channels, retail stores and agent locations.
