The RBI-recognised Self-Regulatory Organisation
in the FinTech Sector (SRO-FT)
Fintech Association for Consumer Empowerment (FACE) is the RBI-recognised Self-Regulatory Organisation in the FinTech Sector (SRO-FT) and the largest and most diverse FinTech association in India.
True to our name, FACE is by FinTechs, for Consumers. While led and driven by FinTechs, it is an association for consumer empowerment and embodies the responsible participation and growth of FinTech companies and consumers in the digital economy.
FACE operates under the RBI’s SRO-FT framework. It defines our organising principles for inclusive and representative membership and stakeholder approach. It shapes our character to think and act for the long-term interests of the industry, with consumer-centricity and protection as non-negotiable. The underlying foundation of robust corporate governance and capabilities—talent, resources, and technical infrastructure—delivers on the SRO-FT mandate.
FinTech companies of all hues—across domains, regulatory status, and sizes, from start-ups to unicorns, from bootstrapped to listed—come together at FACE as members. They unite in their mission to build a responsible and innovative FinTech ecosystem that delivers and enables customer-centric digital financial products and services that are safe, suitable, and transparent, with positive impacts on society and the economy.
With the consumer at the centre of our work, FACE brings 7C impact to the community.
FACE’s membership reflects a diverse and representative FinTech ecosystem, spanning payments, lending, open finance, collections, and TechFins supporting the FinTech and BFSI sector across data, KYC, analytics, fraud prevention, AI, infrastructure, and more.
Membership makes companies part of a larger community, helping build an impactful FinTech ecosystem where they grow individually and collectively.
Diverse members come together through forums and working groups to engage on common themes and problem statements.
FACE provides an open and inclusive platform where all members enjoy the same rights and responsibilities: information, participation, and contribution.
