Instalment credit platforms built around RBI's regulatory framework
Buy Now Pay Later platforms in India need merchant checkout integration, credit scoring, and consent-driven data access that satisfy RBI's PPI guidelines, NBFC lending regulations, and the Account Aggregator framework. Algosoft builds BNPL platforms engineered around those exact regulatory demands, not generic instalment templates retrofitted for India.
We work with fintech startups partnering with a licensed NBFC, merchant platforms adding embedded credit at checkout, and established lenders modernizing legacy instalment systems — all built on CIBIL-integrated credit scoring and UPI AutoPay as core architecture.
This service pairs with our lending app development cost guide for India for platforms that need both BNPL and broader loan origination capability.
Embedded BNPL at checkout via SDK or hosted checkout flow.
Real-time credit decisioning integrated with bureau scoring data.
Audit trails and consent flows aligned with RBI PPI and NBFC guidelines.
