Being India's leading payment gateway player, CCAvenue stands out for its innovative approach by providing multi-bank EMI options along with other payment technologies for merchants across various sectors, including Retail, Travel, Real Estate, Telecommunication, Government departments, Utility billers, Hospitality, Education, and Healthcare.
Widely adopted by merchants, CCAvenue's payment technology facilitates online transactions through a diverse range of payment methods such as major Credit Cards, Debit Cards (MasterCard/Visa/Maestro/RuPay), Amex EzeClick, Net Banking (58+ options), Mobile Wallets, UPI, and an extensive selection of up to 15 Multi Bank EMI options.
