FreeCharge joins hands with CCAvenue

NEW DELHI:India’s leading digital payments platform, FreeCharge has announced its partnership with CCAvenue, one of the leading payment gateways of the country.

FreeCharge customers will now have access to real-time, multi-currency online payment services as well as one lakh leading online merchants across sectors like hospitality, retail, education etc.

Govind Rajan, Chief Operating Officer, FreeCharge said “We want to make FreeCharge wallet ubiquitous in both the online and offline space by creating an ecosystem of partnership. With CCAvenue, we will further strengthen our partner ecosystem and offer our customers a wider assortment of online merchants. Our endeavour is to build the payment OS for digital India and I am confident that alliances like this will help us move in the right direction.”

Vishwas Patel, Chief Executive Officer, Avenues Group said “Digital wallets have played their part in the ecosystem and consumers have adapted to its usage significantly. It complements CCAvenue’s efforts to transform the market from cash to cashless. CCAvenue operates on a simple tenet, ‘more options lead to more business’ and has always remained neutral by associating with third party wallets and not limited its services to a captive payment wallet of its own. This association would enable FreeCharge as a payment option for our 100000+ e-merchants, and FreeCharge’s aggressive marketing strategies would greatly benefit our merchants.”

The company has been focusing on expanding both offline and online merchant base as well as strengthening its ecosystem of partnerships. With this, FreeCharge is the fastest growing wallet in the country and well on its way to being the Digital Payment Operating System of India.
