The company plans to file draft papers by August 2025. With over 600 million registered users and 310 million daily transactions, PhonePe is one of India\u2019s leading UPI-based digital payment platforms. The IPO marks a significant step in its growth journey, reflecting investor confidence in India\u2019s booming FinTech sector.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/statics.teams.cdn.office.net\/evergreen-assets\/personal-expressions\/v2\/assets\/emoticons\/1f3e6_bank\/default\/50_f.png?v=v6\" alt=\"Bank\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" aria-label=\"Bank\" \/>First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB) has joined China\u2019s official cross-border payment network, CIPS, as a Direct Participant. This means FAB can now directly process international payments in China\u2019s currency, the Renminbi (RMB), without needing a middleman. CIPS (Cross-border Interbank Payment System) is China\u2019s answer to global systems like SWIFT and is used to settle trade and financial transactions in RMB. By joining, FAB strengthens its ties with China and makes it easier for businesses in the UAE and region to trade with Chinese partners.<\/p>\n<p>This position enables FAB to provide real-time RMB payment services with greater speed, security, and operational efficiency. The development strengthens FAB\u2019s role in advancing regional and global financial connectivity, particularly across the high-growth China-UAE and wider GCC trade corridors.<\/p>\n<h4>Transforming how SMEs run finance<\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/statics.teams.cdn.office.net\/evergreen-assets\/personal-expressions\/v2\/assets\/emoticons\/1f4b8_moneywithwings\/default\/50_f.png?v=v9\" alt=\"Flying money\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" aria-label=\"Flying money\" \/>Malaysian FinTech company Instapay Technologies has raised $3 million in a Series A2 funding round, with participation from a group of US-based family offices and returning investor ACA Investments, a Japanese firm based in Singapore.<\/p>\n<p>The new funding will help Instapay expand its range of products and explore new markets, according to TNGlobal.
