Business payments for Indian companies. The current account sits at a partner bank, not at Open.

Bengaluru · SME connected finance · Private

Open is the dashboard a lot of Indian companies use to pay vendors, run payroll, and see balances in one place.

Best for: Indian private limited companies and LLPs that want one dashboard on a named bank current account.
