PayPal obtained Reserve Bank of India’s in-principle approval to operate as a Cross-Border Payment Aggregator (PA-CB-E) which represents a transformative development for India’s digital trade ecosystem. Through this approval PayPal will enable secure global payment transactions for all Indian exporters including freelancers and startups and SMEs.
The announcement occurred during a time when India achieved its highest export figure of $73.8 billion in April 2025. PayPal can now enable Indian merchants to reach 200 global markets through its trusted payment network after obtaining this regulatory approval. The company stated that this decision demonstrates India’s forward-thinking regulations while establishing PayPal as a vital component for the country’s emergence as a global export center.
PayPal provides businesses with three essential tools including PayPal Checkout and Invoicing and No-Code integration to make global selling easier. The company demonstrates its ongoing dedication to help Indian businesses expand into new markets through transparent and efficient and secure solutions after operating in India for more than ten years.
The digital export landscape receives an improvement through this development which creates possibilities for future innovations in localized payments and customer experience.
