Fintechs bet on AI agents to retain merchants as acquisition costs rise and margins thin | Company Business News
Four major payment firms — Razorpay, Cashfree, BharatPe and PayU — now offer AI agents for small and medium businesses. These handle back-office work like cart recovery, dispute filing and KYC (know-your-customer) checks. They are free for now. Razorpay says merchants saw a 15-30% topline boost. So ask your payment provider whether these tools are already available to you.
Key Statutory Highlights
- Razorpay, Cashfree, BharatPe and PayU have each rolled out AI agent suites to keep merchants on their payment platforms.

Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:Ask your payment provider what agent tools your account already includes. Since some are offered free at this stage, you can test one on a small task like cart recovery before changing any existing process.
