EbixCash, flagship payments arm of Eraaya Lifespaces Ltd, has partnered with Banking Circle to enhance cross-border payment efficiency. The collaboration enables faster, cost-effective, and fully compliant international money transfers with real-time tracking, benefiting Indian students, travelers, SMEs, and corporates.
Eraaya Lifespaces Limited’s payments and foreign exchange arm, EbixCash World Money, has formed a strategic partnership with Banking Circle to transform cross-border payment services for Indian customers. The alliance leverages Banking Circle’s robust local clearing infrastructure along with EbixCash’s AD-II license and remittance expertise to offer seamless global payment solutions.
This collaboration enables EbixCash to directly settle transactions using local rails in key global corridors such as the UK, EU, US, Canada, Australia, Singapore, and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). By shifting from agent-based transfers to infrastructure-grade payments through a multi-currency nostro account, the partnership reduces transfer times, lowers costs, eliminates hidden fees, and increases transparency and regulatory compliance.
Indian students, corporate clients, travelers, and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) stand to benefit greatly from faster settlements, real-time transaction tracking, and streamlined reconciliation made possible through Banking Circle’s virtual IBANs and structured references. This makes navigating complex international payment documentation simpler, enhancing customer experience.
The partnership also lays the groundwork for future expansion into scalable cross-border payout capabilities for SMEs and corporate flows, pending regulatory approvals. Key executives from both EbixCash and Banking Circle highlighted how this collaboration addresses current market gaps and will redefine India's connection with the global economy.
