The company started operations in July 2017 with 410 branches to become the fourth payments bank after Airtel Payments Bank, India Post Payments Bank and Paytm Payments Bank.

Fino Payments discussing SFB transition internally: MD & CEO Rishi Gupta

Transitioning from a business correspondent to a payments bank five years back, profit making Fino Payments Bank looks for a further upgrade to a small finance bank with internal discussions underway, bank's chief Rishi Gupta said. The bank will approach the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) for a small finance bank licence at an appropriate time, Gupta, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Fino Payments Bank said.
