Key to the company's growth has been its bulk disbursal solution - Payouts - which helps businesses send money instantly to bank accounts, cards, UPI, and wallets with a simple integration. Use cases for Payouts include vendor payouts, wage payouts, e-commerce refunds, insurance claims processing, loan disbursements, expense reimbursements, loyalty, and rewards payments.

In addition to Payouts, Cashfree’s Payment Gateway supports payments from more than 100 payment channels. The company also offers a number of adjacent value-added products, including a split payment solution for marketplaces, instant refunds, payment pre-authorisation, recurring payments via Subscription and bank account verification.

Joining Cashfree as a board member, Udayan Goyal, managing partner and Apis co-founder comments: “As digital payments proliferate globally, the Indian market continues to represent one of the most exciting opportunities that we see in the world.
