Credit cards have always played a major role in driving the economic growth of world’s largest economies. With the steep rise in the adoption of digital payments, credit cards have emerged as the next frontier of growth for electronic payments. As per RBI data, in India, there are more than 30 million credit cards translating to a mere 3.5% of adult population. While several of factors have contributed to the low penetration including lack of adequate credit history and conservative underwriting practices by banks, the major reason is expensive credit card technology and infrastructure which has been hitherto a forte of multinational companies. Additionally, the lack of optimal resources at Banks and Financial Institutions for Credit Card Product Management has severely limited the growth of the market.
Quatrro understands these challenges and has partnered with RS2 to bring-in an end-to-end “Pay-by-the-drink” services model that will allow Banks and Financial Institutions to gain access to state-of-the-art payments processing capabilities without huge upfront investments. Quatrro’s innovative solution will combine RS2’s Card Management System and Merchant Management System with end-to-end processing capabilities to empower Banks and Financial Institutions to focus on core areas of growing their business portfolios, leaving the backend processing to Quatrro.
Quatrro will play a pivotal role in aligning Fintech companies and Banks to launch innovative credit offerings (both card and non-card based) and products that will enhance penetration and adoption of digital payments. Further, this innovative solution will empower Banks and Financial Institutions to fulfill the desire of a large number of households and individuals looking at access to short term credit to manage mismatch in their cash inflows and outflows.
