• Curie Money goes national with NPCI approval for its UPI based investing and payment platform.
• Users can now earn daily returns from liquid mutual funds while transacting via UPI.
• Platform exits beta, live for all Android and iOS users with YES Bank and AMCs as partners.

Curie Money, a fintech startup blending investing with payments, has received final approval from the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) to roll out its mutual fund backed UPI platform nationwide. The approval marks a major step forward for the startup, which is now live across India on both Android and iOS, following the completion of its beta phase.

Founded by Arindam Ghosh and Tushar Choudhary, Curie Money introduces a new way to spend and save. The feature of instant redemption allows investors to withdraw funds directly into their bank account within seconds, unlike regular redemptions that take one or two business days.

This approach, inspired by money market systems in developed markets, is designed for the everyday Indian consumer who wants both ease and earnings in one account. Curie holds both AMFI mutual fund distributor and UPI operating licenses, and has partnered with YES Bank, ICICI Prudential, and Bajaj Finserv AMC to offer secure, compliant services.

Backed by $1.2 million in seed funding from India Quotient and other investors, Curie is now focused on scaling up, refining its user experience, and educating users on the benefits of merging savings with daily payments.

With this launch, Curie aims to change how Indians view digital finance, turning every transaction into an earning opportunity.
