Razorpay
RBI-authorised Indian payment aggregator since December 2023, publishing flat 2% domestic pricing, and now acquiring in Malaysia and Singapore as Curlec by Razorpay.
Razorpay started in Bengaluru in 2014, founded by two IIT Roorkee graduates, Harshil Mathur and Shashank Kumar. It is an aggregator rather than an acquirer: merchants contract with Razorpay, which settles through partner banks and card schemes. The group has widened well beyond the gateway, adding card machines as Razorpay POS (the former Ezetap), business banking as RazorpayX and lending as Razorpay Capital.
Its regulatory position is easy to check. Razorpay Payments Private Limited sits on the RBI's published authorisation list with a payment aggregator certificate dated 19 December 2023 covering online and physical acceptance plus cross-border collections in both directions, the last of which was announced in December 2025. Indian coverage runs to UPI including AutoPay, RuPay, Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Diners, netbanking across more than 70 banks, wallets, EMI and pay-later. Abroad the brand is Curlec by Razorpay. Razorpay Curlec Sdn. Bhd. is listed by Bank Negara Malaysia as a registered non-bank merchant acquirer and is a PayNet member, supporting FPX, DuitNow, Touch 'n Go, GrabPay and Boost. Singapore opened in March 2025 with PayNow and cards, run alongside MAS-licensed partners rather than on a Razorpay licence.
Rates are public. Indian merchants pay a flat 2% on successful domestic transactions across cards, UPI, netbanking, wallets and EMI, up to 3% on international cards, plus 18% GST, with nothing charged for set-up, annual maintenance or refunds, and settlement on T+1 or instant. Curlec prices Malaysia separately: roughly 2.5-2.8% on domestic cards, 3% international, 1.5% on e-wallets and 1.5% or RM1 on FPX, with a RM500 set-up fee on the standard package. One wrinkle for contracts: the group re-domiciled from the US to India in May 2025 and moved its aggregator business into a separate company from 1 January 2026, so the entity on the agreement may not be the name merchants expect.

What Razorpay costs
Razorpay quotes per merchant. What you are offered depends on your volume, your industry, the countries you sell in, your card mix and your risk profile — so a published headline rate would not be your rate. Ask them for a quote against your own numbers.

What the last check found
Recheck against Razorpay's own documentation, which settles a question this listing could not answer before: Razorpay is an Indian processor, and almost every page of its documentation is stamped "Available in India".
That does not mean it only touches India, but it does mean the direction matters. Indian businesses use it to accept payments from customers in other countries, and foreign businesses use it to accept payments from Indian customers — for which Razorpay requires a purpose code and either an HS code or an Importer/Exporter Code, filed on its dashboard, which is an Indian regulatory requirement rather than a Razorpay one. Neither of those is the same as being able to onboard as a merchant in a second country, and Razorpay's "accept payments from 200+ countries" claim is about where a payer can be, not where a merchant can be. One country is recorded here, and the reason is written down.
The method set is unmistakably Indian: UPI with its own autopay variant and a published list of twenty-five UPI apps, netbanking, RuPay alongside Visa and Mastercard, EMI in four forms including no-cost EMI, e-mandate for recurring debits, pay later, Sodexo meal vouchers, cash on delivery, and eight wallets — PhonePe, Mobikwik, PayZapp, Ola Money, Airtel Money, Amazon Pay, JioMoney and PayPal. Four non-Indian methods exist for inbound international payments only: Giropay for Germany, Sofort for Europe, Trustly for the UK and Europe, and POLi for Australia.
The currencies are the twelve Razorpay names in writing alongside INR. It says it supports all major currencies "among others" without publishing the list, so this is a floor, not a ceiling. Four of the methods it documents — EMI, cardless EMI, cash on delivery and POLi — have no row in this directory's taxonomy and are recorded here in words instead.
