“And this step takes us at Ezetap closer to achieving that dream. We join Razorpay’s suite of products to collectively offer businesses the best-in-class omni-channel payments experience and are excited at the limitless possibilities that together both the companies are looking to explore in the omnichannel payment world.”
In March this year, Razorpay bought a fintech start-up that offers payments solutions for banks, IZealiant Technologies.
