Non-banks cannot load credit lines into prepaid payment instruments: RBI to fintechs​

The move may impact credit products of fintech players who extend credit through prepaid payment instruments such as prepaid cards and wallets.

The notification was addressed to “All Authorised Non-bank Prepaid Payment Instrument (PPI) Issuers.” According to multiple sources, the notification was sent to non-bank PPI issuers, including fintech players.

The immediate impact of this clarification is unclear; however, Slice, Uni, PayU’s LazyPay, KreditBee etc. also extend credit through prepaid co-branded cards. But the key issuers of these cards are banks like SBM Bank India, RBL Bank among others.
