Merchant onboarding and processing are live
PB Fintech launched PB Pay for merchant onboarding and transaction processing after receiving Reserve Bank of India authorization to operate as an online payment aggregator in February 2026. [1] [2]
The reported platform brings UPI, cards, net banking, wallets, EMI and recurring mandates into one integration. API documentation and a sandbox are intended to support merchant implementation and testing. [1] [2]
Aggregation moves the problem beyond checkout
A single integration can reduce the engineering effort needed to connect several payment methods, but merchants still need reliable routing, reconciliation, settlement reporting, refunds, disputes and customer-support evidence across each rail. [1] [2]
PB Pay also described rules-based gateway routing and transaction monitoring. Claims about security controls and payment-success improvements remain company statements reported by the publications, not independently audited outcomes. [1] [2]
The next evidence should be operating performance
Useful follow-up measures include named merchant cohorts, authorization and failure rates by rail, settlement timeliness, dispute handling, uptime and the clarity of responsibility when an underlying gateway or payment method fails. [1] [2]
