Account Migration - New PA/PG Guidelines

Update your setup to work with our new banking partners.


RBI

for PA/PG requires Razorpay to have an escrow account with RBL as banking partner. Existing Customer Identifiers with Yes Bank and ICICI Bank will be shut down, and all banking ops moved to RBL escrow account. Dashboard shows both old and newly created Customer Identifier until Jan 31, 2022.

Post migration, new virtual response for Customer Identifier built on Yes Bank/ICICI Bank will contain two objects in receivers array, one for new RBL CI and one for existing Yes Bank/ICICI Bank CI. Confirm new RBL CI by checking IFSC Code RATN0VAAPIS.

The following sample response code can be used as a reference:

1. Will this impact the Customer Identifiers I have created?

All Customer Identifiers created with Yes Bank and ICICI Bank only will be migrated to RBL Bank.

Unfortunately, due to the revised guidelines, we will not be able to support this.

6. What actions do I need to take?

The account number and/or IFSC codes for all the impacted Customer Identifiers will change. You will need to communicate about these changes to your respective customers so that they can add these new Customer Identifiers as beneficiaries for future NEFT/IMPS/RTGS payments.
