Airtel Money commences operations as Type-II NBFC after RBI nod

NEW DELHI: Bharti Airtel’s subsidiary, Airtel Money, on Wednesday said that it has commenced operations as a Type-II Non-Deposit-accepting Non-Banking Financial Company (Investment and Credit Company).

The move follows the receipt of its formal certificate of registration from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), which was granted on February 13, 2026.

This transition enables the telecom major’s financial services arm to scale its credit and investment offerings, deeply integrating financial services into Airtel’s massive digital ecosystem.
