Bengaluru · Startup payouts · Razorpay

7.2Solid

RazorpayX is the payouts machine Indian startups already have. The deposit is at a scheduled bank. File it on Business next to Open and Airwallex (different legal object: Airwallex is not an RBI current account). Do not headline it as a neobank.

#6 alternative

Open

active

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

Bengaluru · SME connected finance · Private

7.1Solid

Open is the dashboard a lot of Indian companies use to pay vendors, run payroll, and see balances in one place. The current account is at a scheduled bank — Open’s own site names ICICI Bank, State Bank of India, Axis Bank, Yes Bank and others. Open is the software. Compare it with RazorpayX, not with Jupiter.

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

Licence

Fintech overlay / partner current account

Protection

If the current account is at a scheduled bank, DICGC can cover eligible deposits up to ₹5 lakh per depositor per bank at that bank. Open itself is not insured. Read the bank name on your statement.
