Paisalo Digital's Business Correspondent Ecosystem surpasses USD 1 Billion in Gross Transaction Value

Paisalo Digital Limited, a leading NBFC focused on expanding formal credit access to MSMEs, micro-enterprises and underserved borrowers across India, announced that its Business Correspondent (BC) channel has crossed USD 1 billion in cumulative gross transaction value (GTV), marking an important milestone in the evolution ofits distribution franchise and last-mile delivery capabilities.

The milestone underscores the increasing scale, relevance and strategic importance of Paisalo's BC ecosystem, which has emerged as a key pillar in the Company's efforts to expand access to formal financial services across underserved rural and semi-urban markets.

Over the years, Paisalo has built one of the country's most extensive technology-enabled financial inclusion platforms, leveraging a combination of physical distribution, strategic bank partnerships and digital infrastructure to deliver a broad range of financial services. The crossing of the USD 1 billion GTV threshold reflects growing customer engagement across the BC channel and demonstrates the scalability of the Company's asset-light, partnership-led operating model.

As of Q1FY27, Paisalo's network comprised 5,995 touchpoints across 23 states, supported by 1,574 Business Correspondents and long-standing partnerships with leading public sector banks including State Bank of India, Bank of India and Indian Overseas Bank under the Business Correspondent framework.

Strategic Rationale

The milestone is strategically importantfor severalreasons:

- Validates the BC channel as a scalable last-mile distribution engine: Crossing USD 1 billion shows the channel has achieved meaningful scale and can support future growth.

- Strengthens low-cost customer acquisition and engagement: Higher transaction activity deepens customer relationships and improves the economics of sourcing, servicing, and cross-sell.

- Reinforces the asset-light, partnership-led growth strategy: The BC model allows Paisalo to expand reach and transaction throughput without requiring significant investments in branch infrastructure or balance-sheet-intensive expansion. As transaction volumes increase, the Company benefits from operating leverage while maintaining capital efficiency.

Commenting on the milestone, Santanu Agarwal, Deputy Managing Director, Paisalo Digital Limited, said: "Crossing USD 1 billion in gross transaction value through our Business Correspondent ecosystem is an important strategic milestone that reffects the increasing scale and maturity of our distribution platform. While the number itself is significant, what it truly represents is the growing trust of customers, the strength of our partnership-led model and our ability to deliver financial services efficiently across underserved markets.

The BC ecosystem has evolved into a key growth engine for Paisalo, enabling us to combine extensive physical reach with technology-driven execution while maintaining an asset-light operating model. As transaction volumes continue to grow, we see meaningful opportunities to deepen customer engagement, enhance cross-sell capabilities and improve the overall productivity of our distribution network."
