A Payment Aggregator (PA) serves as a vital link between merchants and customers, making it easier for businesses to accept a variety of payment methods without the hassle of building their own payment systems. PAs gather payments from customers, keep them safe in a secure escrow account, and then send the funds to merchants after a specified time.
This efficient payment process lets e-commerce platforms, online businesses, and brick-and-mortar retailers concentrate on expanding their operations while also ensuring they meet regulatory requirements and maintain transaction security.

RBI’s Escrow Guidelines on Payment Aggregators
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) requires all non-bank payment aggregators to set up an escrow account with a scheduled commercial bank to protect the payments they collect.
Escrow Account Requirement
Every customer payment received by payment aggregators (PAs) needs to be kept in a dedicated escrow account until it’s settled with the merchants.
Multiple Escrow Accounts
PAs have the option to open an additional escrow account with another commercial bank, which can provide extra security and better risk management.
Legal Compliance
According to Section 23A of the Payment & Settlement Systems Act (PSSA), 2015, PA operations fall under the category of ‘designated payment systems,’ which means they are subject to strict regulatory oversight.
By following RBI’s guidelines for payment aggregators, businesses can protect their transactions, avoid mismanagement of funds, and ensure smooth settlements.
