Agent institutions are the entities that wish to offer or those who are currently offering bill payment, collection, and aggregation services to their customers via physical or digital channels.
With this collaboration, CRED members will be able to conveniently make recurring payments across several segments like electricity, telecom, DTH, Gas, Education fees, water, and municipal taxes, NETC FASTag recharge, loan repayments, Insurance, Cable, Subscription fees, Mobile prepaid recharges, and others by logging into CRED app. They will also be able to see updated transaction history, set transaction alerts & reminders, and raise/track complaints online for Bharat BillPay transactions using their CRED app.

As an Agent Institution, CRED will create member touchpoints, provide member assistance (registration, Quickpay, complaint resolution), instant confirmation, awareness (payment and charges), BBPS brand visibility, etc.
“Creating a rewarding and seamless transaction experience remains our focus at CRED. BBPS integration will help enhance member experience for recurring payments like electricity, FASTags, education fee, rentpay amongst others,” said Akshay Aedula, Lead, Financial Services, CRED.

We look forward to continuing on-boarding varied ecosystem partners to offer an extra layer of comfort and convenience to citizens of India for their recurring payments under the BBPS scheme.”
