But the worst hit will be non-bank players as they will be hit on both asset and the liability sides. While they will have to pay higher rates while borrowing from banks and bond markets, they will also have to pass on higher costs to borrowers. This will slow down the rapid growth in their balance sheet, which has been driven by rapid growth in the disbursement of unsecured personal/consumer loans. According to analysts, non banking finance companies like Paytm and Bajaj Finance would be most affected by RBI’s move to tighten capital norms on unsecured loans and also loans disbursed to non banks. This will not only make lending more expensive for non banks but in many cases will also force them to raise more capital ahead of schedule. <keyword id="116253" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="sbi-cards" source="Orion">SBI Cards</keyword>, Bajaj Finance, IIFL and Aditya Birla have relatively higher proportion of unsecured loans on their portfolio and, therefore, tighter capital norms will impact them the most. Unsecured personal loans account for 37% of Bajaj Finance’s loan book, while it is 21% for Aditya Birla Capital and it is 27% for IIFL (standalone), according to Jefferies. According to Jefferies, SBI Cards can see an estimated.400 basis points cut in its Tier 1 capital adequacy ratio while Bajaj Finance can see 220 basis point hair cut to Tier 1 CAR. However, both NBFCs are well capitalised and have higher return on equity (low capital consumption). “IIFL (standalone entity) and Aditya Birla Capital can see a 50-80 bps haircut to Tier 1 capital, which can lower their Tier 1 to 13%/15%. IIFL may need to infuse capital in the standalone entity; at ABFL, next phase of capital raise may get advanced,” the global investment bank said in a report. in funding costs. SBI Cards faces highest drag on Tier I CAR and highest dependence on bank-funding. The tighter norms will not impact NBFCs but even fintechs like Paytm. Loan disbursals by fintechs will also slow down from the current levels as they may find it hard to raise funds and even pass on higher cost loans to consumers. Japanese investment bank Nomura says in a report, that in the past 18 months, nearly 25%-30% of incremental growth for NBFCs has come from unsecured retail. Any moderation in unsecured credit for NBFCs will hence have an impact on both growth and profitability for NBFCs in our view. Moreover, the regulatory action comes at a time when credit costs in these segments have started to inch up. For Paytm's lending partners, higher funding costs and increased capital requirements will affect product profitability in the buy-now-pay-later and personal loans segments. Non bank lenders like private banks may also start to improve their underwriting standards after this which will impact overall growth. Jefferies says: “We also watch out for the pricing environment and ability of Paytm to pass-through hike in funding costs. In our base case earnings, we forecast consumer loan disbursal growth to normalise from 90% in FY24 to 40% in FY25 and 35% in FY26. Any additional 10 percentage point slower disbursal growth (vs. base case) in FY25/26E can lead to 5-10% impact on lending revenues and ~2-3% impact on overall contributions, which may impact break-even timelines as well. Paytm may be able to compensate for this through faster ramp-up of its merchant financing business.” ALSO READ: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/personal-finance/news/the-dark-truth-behind-rbis-crackdown-on-easy-personal-loans/articleshow/105287366.cms" data-type="tilCustomLink" target="_blank">The dark truth behind RBI’s crackdown on easy personal loans</a>

RBI crackdown on personal loans – Bajaj Finance, IIFL, Aditya Birla and SBI Cards to take a bigger hit, say analysts

Mumbai, <keyword id="3526030" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="fino-payments-bank" source="Orion">Fino Payments Bank</keyword> is keen to become a <keyword id="6382595" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="small-finance-bank" source="Orion">small finance bank</keyword> after having completed five years of operations, Managing Director <keyword id="1336488" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="rishi-gupta" source="Orion">Rishi Gupta</keyword> said. The Navi Mumbai-based company is a subsidiary of Fino Paytech, which is backed by marquee investors such as Bharat Petroleum, ICICI Group, Blackstone, IFC, Intel and LIC, among others. The company started operations in July 2017 with 410 branches to become the fourth payments bank after <keyword id="6385180" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="airtel-payments-bank" source="Orion">Airtel Payments Bank</keyword>, <keyword id="3388668" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="india-post-payments-bank" source="Orion">India Post Payments Bank</keyword> and <keyword id="3236791" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="paytm-payments-bank" source="Orion">Paytm Payments Bank</keyword>. Fino, which was a remittance service provider, has converted most of its Fino Money Mart outlets into bank branches after getting licence from the Reserve Bank. Also, Fino is the only lender in this space being traded on the exchanges. "From regulatory and compliance perspectives we are eligible for an upgrade to a small finance bank, having completed the mandatory five years of operations. Our board also favours such a conversion and soon we'll be moving an application with the RBI in this regard," Gupta told PTI. On why to stop at small finance bank, and not a full service bank, Gupta said, the company is too small to directly convert to a full service commercial bank from capital and capabilities perspectives. He said, till the upgrade happens, the bank will grow the business with a focus on tie-ups with fintechs under the Fino 2.0 initiative on building digital assets and strengthen the digital offerings. Already, it has tied up with the Sequoia Capital-backed Hubble to offer a spending account, offering customers better value on their lifestyle spends. People can park their funds, spend and save up to 10 per cent on all purchases made from the account. "We're looking at more such tie-ups in the fintech space," Gupta said, adding the company is also tying up with NBFCs from retail lending as payments partner and such loan remains on the book of the NBFC. "We've already tied up with two such shadow banks-Kredbee and Myshublaon," he said. In Q4FY23, its revenue rose 13 per cent to Rs 323 crore and net income jumped 25 per cent to Rs 22 crore with net margin rising to 6.8 per cent from 6.2 per cent. Its deposits grew 66 per cent to Rs 1,200 crore in FY23 from Rs 724 crore in FY22 of which 20 per cent are the low-cost Casa deposits. Gupta said the bank has been adding 2.5 lakh customers monthly on an average in FY24, taking the overall customer base to 71 lakh now. Another new service they began is offering recurring deposits, he said, adding the bank is also working on launching a virtual debit card. Also, under the pipeline is gold loans, mutual funds and medical insurance, Gupta said.

From a cash-reliant nation to a digital-first economy, India's payment landscape has undergone a massive transformation thanks to QR and digital payments pioneer <keyword id="6357120" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="paytm" source="Orion">Paytm</keyword>'s range of innovative products tailored to meet the needs of Indian consumers and merchants. The results of Paytm's pioneering work speak for themselves. In fact, OCL’s associate Paytm Payments Bank is a leader in <keyword id="6358921" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="upi" source="Orion">UPI</keyword> P2M payments, as the largest acquiring and beneficiary bank. Its revolutionary solutions have transformed India's payments and commerce landscape, making <keyword id="2970472" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="digital-transactions" source="Orion">digital transactions</keyword> accessible across the length and breadth of the country. Paytm Wallet, launched in 2014, was widely adopted by those making digital and mobile payments for the first time. The Vijay Shekhar Sharma-led company’s trailblazing spirit continued with the launch of its QR payment system in 2015. This solution was a massive win for merchants, especially small shopkeepers, who could accept digital payments at zero upfront costs, without requiring an internet connection or a POS machine. Paytm recognized the need for a payment solution that would be affordable, easy to use, and safe for both retailers and consumers. As a pioneer in the digital payments space, Paytm developed the QR code-based payment method for brick-and-mortar stores, becoming the first company to introduce this groundbreaking technology to in-store merchants throughout India. Paytm's product readiness and scalable platform helped accelerate the adoption of QR codes among merchants when the Indian government announced demonetisation in 2016. The company’s QR code solution was enhanced in January 2020 with the All-in-One QR, which became the sole source QR code for merchants to accept payments from Paytm Payment Instruments, third-party sources, and all UPI instruments. <div type="image" title="1200x900-a" msid="98124799" hostid="261" sizebytes="17044" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;UPI ecosystem&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> In recent years, Paytm UPI has driven India's transition to non-cash payments for both P2P fund transfers and merchant payments. Paytm UPI has been driving the country's digital transaction volumes in recent years, and the company’s rapid deployment of low-cost QR codes has brought underpenetrated merchant segments that once preferred cash-based payments into the digital payments fold. During the Q3 FY 2023 earnings call, Paytm Founder and CEO Vijay Shekhar Sharma said that the company's focus on merchant payments has created a scalable UPI revenue model in subscription. “I feel highly positive and inspired by the adoption of our device business, especially Soundbox which has led to significant scale in UPI acquiring,” he said. The company has built a merchant network of over 30 million businesses spread across 450 cities and towns, and it plans to expand this to about 1,000 towns over the next two to three years. Today, more merchants use Paytm's QR codes compared to any other payments company in India. But Paytm's innovation didn't stop there. In 2020, the company launched its Soundbox, a state-of-the-art payment acceptance device that uses IoT technology to provide real-time audio confirmation for payment completion, ensuring a seamless payment experience for customers and merchants alike. Today, Paytm Soundbox is seen in every merchant’s shop and has become an industry standard where every other fintech company is hopping on the Soundbox bandwagon. The fintech giant continues to strengthen its market leadership in offline devices, with the number of merchants paying subscriptions for payment devices like Paytm Soundbox and POS reaching 6.1 million at the end of January 2023, an increase of 0.3 million in the month. Paytm's success in revolutionizing digital payments in India has made it one of the most innovative and impactful companies in the fintech industry. With its wide range of payment options and payment devices, Paytm has made it easy for millions of Indian consumers and merchants to transition to a cashless economy. Building on this success, Paytm is now also leading the charge in digital lending, offering convenient loans to people and businesses across the country.
