Real-Time Payments Projected to Boost India GDP by Dollar76.5 Billion, Bring Banking Access to 25.5 Million Indians by 2028 – ACI Worldwide Report

Mumbai, India—20th December 2024—Real-time payments boosted India’s GDP by $50 billion in 2023, making it the world’s largest market in terms of GDP growth, according to the Real-Time Payments: Economic Impact and Financial Inclusion report published by ACI Worldwide (NASDAQ: ACIW), an original innovator in global payments technology, in collaboration with The Centre for Economics and Business Research (Cebr). This is equivalent to the output of approximately 6.8 million workers.

The report leverages data from 40 countries and reveals—for the first time—an empirical link between real-time payments and financial inclusion. According to the report, real-time payments are forecast to contribute $76.5 billion of additional GDP to India’s economy by 2028, equivalent to 1.5% of GDP, or the output of 8.0 million workers. India is on track to become the world’s third-largest economy by 2030–31, according to S&P Global. Real-time payments play a pivotal role in supporting this trajectory, driving unparalleled economic efficiency and growth.

Real-time payments are driving unprecedented growth in enabling financial access for unbanked and underserved communities, accelerating remittance flows and creating opportunities for economic participation. The phenomenal surge in real-time payments and the resulting rise in financial inclusion present a significant growth opportunity for banks. The report reveals that by 2028, real-time payments are expected to add 25.5 million new bank account holders. The projected growth in new account holders presents a $24.6 billion profit opportunity for financial institutions, derived from the typical customer lifetime value estimated at $963.

“India dominates the global real-time payments market, with 129.3 billion transactions in 2023. The rise of real-time payments in India has revolutionized banking access, bringing millions of Indians into the formal financial system and empowering them with fast and seamless transactions. As India leads the charge in real-time payments adoption, banks and financial institutions have a unique opportunity to align profitability with purpose, fostering inclusion while capturing untapped growth,” said Santhosh Rao, Senior Vice President, Sales – MEASA, ACI Worldwide.

Globally, real-time payments are expected to contribute $285.8 billion in additional GDP growth—a 74.2% increase over five years—and create more than 167 million new bank account holders by 2028. The report highlights how real-time payments create a win-win scenario, driving benefits not only for the financial sector but also for the broader economy. India has emerged as a shining example of how real-time payments can drive global connectivity and inclusion, setting a benchmark for building a more integrated and empowered world.

Federal Bank Expands Commercial Rooftop Solar Financing for MSMEs in Partnership with Ecofy

New Delhi, 18 December 2024: Federal Bank, one of India’s leading private sector Bank has announced a partnership with Ecofy, India’s first green-only NBFC, backed by Eversource Capital, to offer innovative financing solutions for MSMEs investing in commercial rooftop solar installations. This collaboration marks one of the first comprehensive co-lending partnerships specifically designed to address the unique solar financing needs of the MSME sector.

The program targets financing 3,600 kW of rooftop solar installations annually, benefiting numerous MSMEs while cutting over 2,500 tons of CO2 emissions each year—accelerating decarbonisation and fostering sustainable growth. Most manufacturing MSMEs predominantly use electricity during daylight hours, making rooftop solar an ideal solution. However, financial constraints have traditionally hindered their transition to renewable energy, with many institutions either reluctant to lend or offering loans at prohibitively high interest rates.

Federal Bank x Ecofy

Shalini Warrier, Executive Director at Federal Bank commented, “This collaboration with Ecofy represents our commitment to supporting sustainable business practices. By offering accessible financing for commercial rooftop solar equipment, we are empowering MSMEs to reduce electricity costs while at the same time contributing meaningfully to India’s climate goals”

Commenting on this alliance, Rajashree Nambiar, Co-founder, Managing Director & CEO at Ecofy said, “The MSME sector represents a critical segment in India’s economic landscape, yet there are significant challenges in adopting sustainable energy solutions. Our partnership with Federal Bank is strategically designed to unlock financing opportunities for solar installations in the 20-200 KW range, which has historically been a challenging lending whitespace for financial institutions.”

The co-lending arrangement of Federal Bank with Ecofy for funding Rooftop solar installations is augmenting Bank’s commitment to support the green initiatives by businesses/industries in line with the vision of the decarbonization that is resonating across the country and the globe.

Federal Bank through its various business verticals is providing finance to support the growing MSME sector of the country. MSME loans contribute more than 20% of the total loan book of the Bank. The Bank also has a specific green loan scheme to fund solar and other green initiatives for Business Banking customers.

Ecofy brings extensive expertise to this partnership, having made remarkable strides in solarizing residential and commercial rooftops over the past 24 months. Partnering with leading OEMs like Tata Power, Waaree, Luminous, and Mahindra Solarize, Ecofy currently works with over 1,000 EPC partners, driving impactful green energy solutions.
