The move is expected to benefit both consumers and brands. Online shoppers will enjoy seamless, card-based offers while shopping from D2C brands in GoKwik’s network, enhancing their purchasing experience. For the brands, this partnership offers the potential to improve prepaid success rates, boost conversions, and reduce reliance on Cash on Delivery (COD). This reduction in COD will mitigate return-before-delivery losses, allowing brands to better manage their bottom lines.

GoKwik, known for its innovative tech and data-driven solutions, has been instrumental in driving growth for D2C brands.

Chirag Taneja, Co-Founder and CEO of GoKwik, highlighted the importance of this partnership in bridging the gap between the banking sector and D2C brands. “Fi Money is a leader in digital banking, providing seamless solutions for consumers. We’re thrilled to help them expand into the D2C space,” Taneja said. “This partnership will support the growth of both the banking and D2C ecosystems, helping accelerate the adoption of digital payments in India.”
