The India Fintech Foundation (IFF) has officially been launched — and it could be the most significant development for the fintech sector since UPI.
Why this matters:
-
IFF is set to become a self-regulatory organization (SRO) for fintechs.
-
It’s backed by former RBI Deputy Governor N.S. Viswanathan.
-
It aims to promote innovation, consumer trust, and regulatory compliance.
-
Over 100 fintech players are already on board.
This isn’t just the formation of a new body —
It’s the fintech ecosystem coming together to lead its own growth and governance — by the ecosystem, for the ecosystem.
With the RBI tightening regulations and consumer trust now mission-critical, the IFF could be the missing bridge the fintech sector has long needed.
What are your thoughts on the IFF?
Is this the beginning of a more structured and mature fintech revolution in India?
