Airtel Payments Bank unveiled the introduction of its Business Solution Suite, which aims to transform the banking and payment experience for its merchant partners throughout the country. The unique suite effortlessly integrates banking and payment capabilities into a single, unified platform, providing merchant partners with unsurpassed ease and efficiency.
The Business Banking Solution Suite is a comprehensive package that combines the benefits of Airtel Payments Bank’s current account with the ability to receive payments via QR code and audible payment confirmation via its newly launched Soundbox, all packaged within a plan that includes complimentary insurance benefits. Furthermore, the suite enables merchants to apply for loans* from the Bank’s trusted partners.
A seamless business banking experience
Airtel Payments Bank‘s ZERO balance current account is designed to meet the demands of small and medium-sized businesses. A merchant can open this account instantaneously and enjoy seamless fund settlement, as well as hassle-free cash deposits and withdrawals at approved banking locations, all for a flat, one-time fee.
Improved Payment Experience using Soundbox.
Airtel Payments Bank has launched Soundbox, which is aimed to provide smooth audio notifications for every client transaction via QR codes at merchant stores. Merchants will be able to personalise their experience by picking from a variety of payment confirmation languages. Currently, the Soundbox only supports Hindi and English, with nine additional language options set to be added soon. The bank provides doorstep installation of this innovative Soundbox, as well as a free replacement within 12 months if the hardware fails.
Special Plans to Provide a Financial Safety Net
The Soundbox is part of a one-of-a-kind package that includes comprehensive insurance coverage to provide merchants with financial protection in the event of accidents, hospitalisation, or unforeseen damage to their stores. Merchants are free to select any two insurance plans of their choice, each valid for one year.
Facilitating Financial Empowerment with Loan Options
The unique proposition allows merchants to apply for loans digitally using the Airtel Payments Bank‘s business app. The Bank has formed strategic alliances with leading lenders to provide smooth access to a range of business, personal, and gold loans through these partners. Merchants can apply for loans online for loan amounts ranging from INR 10,000 to INR 10,00,000, depending on the loan type, and the loan provider will notify them of their eligibility evaluations.
