Dear Reader,

This report is our attempt to provide an overview of the digital payments landscape in India and Aurum’s views on where the sector is headed in the medium term. Digital payments is expected to be one of the biggest beneficiaries of the ‘Digital Revolution’ currently being witnessed. Increasing banking reach, larger accessibility to broadband, more smartphones and enabling network infrastructure are all expected to drive ‘Electronization’ of payment systems. Despite all its potential, several questions remain unanswered about how things will unfold in medium term. Will the RBI be able to balance consumer well-being with profitable business models for companies? Will the niche promising companies be able to scale up profitably and achieve sustainable transaction volumes? Will the main enabler ‘internet story’ pan out as expected? We have tried to collate maximum possible secondary data from disparate sources and brainstormed to arrive at possible future trends in every segment. These trends were then discussed with our pool of industry experts and validated. As we continue to learn and improve, we would welcome feedback from every reader about how we can do better. Please write to us with your feedback on the report. Aurum Equity Partners LLP

Government Initiatives

• Government’s initiative ‘Jan Dhana Yojana’ was focused on financial inclusion and opened 115 million bank accounts covering 99.74% of the un-banked population

• Recent scheme on ‘Direct Benefit Transfers’ on cooking gas involves 25 million households and is the largest Direct Benefit Scheme in the world

Digital Revolution

• Aurum believes Digital Payments will be one of the major enablers if India has to go the ‘digital way’

Executive Summary (2/2)

• Aurum has relied on publically available information from RBI and National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) for factual data in this presentation. Aurum views are based on our interaction with payment companies and our analysis of the space

• Major themes in sub-segments:

— ATMs:

o One of the biggest beneficiaries of financial inclusion theme and opening of bank accounts for the un-banked

o Banks largely outsourcing ATM activities. Efficiently run companies to build successful business models and attract capital

— POS

o Moderate growth in conventional POS to continue

o M-PoS better suited for smaller merchants and will continue to gain more traction

— Cards

o Robust growth in debit cards to continue, with more people coming under formal banking system

o Increasing transaction values across different cards to drive other segments (ATMs, PoS, Payment Gateways)

o Adoption of prepaid cards by govt. for benefits transfers will be a key determinant for prepaid segment

— Electronic

o Online payment gateways to experience non-linear growth on the back of behavioral shift towards online

o Mobile Wallet segment is still in nascent stages. Aurum believes 2-3 players will dominate the market in the medium term

— Cash Management

o Remittances market dominated by banks and post offices, with their enormous reach. Payment Banks is the new model to watch out for

Experts Speak

“We, at Smart Data, believe that the digitization of payments for the masses is a function of two factors. (1)

Necessity, which will be driven by government regulations. On an as-is basis, this factor is not that powerful

and government needs to take concrete steps to reduce cash transactions and (2) Convenience: Payment

Companies will come up with disruptive innovations to ensure ease of transacting. This ease will become

the driving factor for the general public to move away from cash to electronic. New technologies like NFC

and easy recharge points may become the driver for this change.”

Sandeep Jain CEO, Smart Data Processing Services

“Thanks to the progressive policy interventions of the Government of India & the RBI, the pioneering

efforts of various banks & financial institutions, the Indian payments eco system is set for an explosive

growth. More and more people are now coming under the net of financial inclusion and digital payments

ecosystem. ATMs stand at the very beginning of a typical consumer evolution into the adoption of

advanced payment services. White Label ATM (WLA) players provide the critical last mile in this chain by

deploying ATMs in smaller towns and villages. At BTI, we have deployed over 85% of our ATMs in towns

below tier 3 where we see a significant business opportunity. While we aggressively ramp up deployment

of White Label ATMs in these towns/villages, we would have supported the larger pillar of financial

inclusion in a significant manner.”

K Srinivas CEO, BTI Payments

Paper is still the preferred mode of payment (FY 2012) Payments in India largely consists of high value B2B transactions, which are mostly routed through electronic systems. This is the reason for the significant contribution of electronic payments in terms of value

Consumer transactions are still dominated by cash (~91% of the total transaction value in FY12)

Government is taking active steps to digitize the consumer spending and minimize the flow of hard currency

Government Initiatives to Reduce Cash Usage

Source: RBI, Market Research

Key Advantages of Non Cash Transactions

The high cost of paper payments ( limited life and high transaction costs of cash) and better regulatory oversight in non paper transactions makes e-payments more favourable

Cashless transactions also addresses certain key issues for India:

— Large unbanked population

— Unregulated cash economy

— Need for financial transparency

Realizing these advantages, Indian regulators are proactively setting policies to ensure growth in e-payments

Evolution of E-Payments

Early 2000 Present State Going Forward

Computerization and networking of the Indian

Financial Sector

Creation of e-payment infrastructure in India, and steps taken to create a shift towards

e- payments

Mobile Banking: Exponential Growth

Source: Indian Banks Association

Despite a very high mobile density, the potential for offering financial services is largely yet untapped

— Over 900 million mobile users in the country but only 36 million mobile banking customers

Underscores the need for active collaboration between banks and telcos

— Irrespective of the channel through which such services are provided, such as, SMS, applications, USSD

Regulatory measures

— TRAI has set the ceiling tariff for USSD-based mobile banking services

— RBI has taken steps to provide accessible, convenient as well as cost effective services to mobile banking customers

Traditional Model

• Banks set up the ATM infrastructure including the location, installation, interiors and security, among others

• The total cost incurred lies in the range of US$ 16,000 – US$ 20,000

• Bank manages the settlement and other banking processes, and charges for transactions outside its network

• Drawbacks

• Time consuming process of setting up an ATM

• Worries of daily management

• Higher capital expenditure and technology requirements

Brown Label Model

• ATM management is outsourced to a third party vendor; bank continues to manage the settlement processes

• Transaction-based model where the setting up and running cost is borne by the vendor who gets paid on a per transaction basis

• For transactions outside its bank’s network, a fee charged which is shared between the vendor and the bank (vendor keeps 70-80%)

• All banks are already using this method to expand their ATM network

White Label Model

• Non-bank entities can apply to RBI and set up, own and operate their own ATMs

• Operators do not have direct access to core-banking operations. Hence, they require a "sponsor bank“ to serve as the settlement bank

• WLA operators receive a fee (INR 15 for Cash Transaction and INR 5 for Non Cash Transaction) from the banks for the use of ATM resources by the banks’ customers. They will not be allowed to charge customers for transactions

ATM Business Models

21

Rising maintenance costs along with time consuming nature of the traditional model has made way for outsourcing of ATM operations by banks…

Aurum View on ATM Segment (1/2)

23

Non-Core Activity

for Banks

Banks are increasingly realizing the efficiencies specialized ATM operators bring to the table and how outsourcing eliminates needless coordination

An efficient ATM network lowers customer visits to branches and plays a key role in user convenience and stickiness

ATM is an investment heavy segment with each ATM requiring an average capex of INR 5-7 lakhs

A 20% annual growth (30,000 ATMs) translates into an investment potential of INR 15,000 – 21,000 million annually

According to 2011 census, 41% of country’s population is still un-banked

As this population starts opening bank accounts and using debit cards, ATM segment will be the largest beneficiary

Government launched Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana (largest financial inclusion scheme in the world) opening 115 million accounts by Jan 2015

Scheme covered 99.74% of the households that were outside the banking system

RBI has been supportive in laying down a viable business model for White Label ATMs along with clear guidelines

Aurum View on ATM Segment (2/2)

24

High Investor Interest

ATM segment has attracted the most private equity interest with large ticket investments in all ATM players including Prizm, BTI Payments, FSS, AGS Transact etc.

This interest is expected to increase with an investor friendly government and enhanced focus on financial inclusion

ATM companies are increasingly realizing the economic attractiveness of installing ATMs in Tier3/4 regions, as compared to higher competition and rental costs in Tier 1/ 2 cities

Increasing willing to use banking services in rural areas with comparable average daily withdrawals compared to cities

Favorable Economics

in Tier 3/4 regions

o Aurum believes ATM segment will be the first beneficiary of changing Indian demographics and increased penetration of banking services

o Efficiently run companies will continue to attract capital from the investors and addressable market is large enough for the players to co-exist

Bank ATMs in urban areas face stiff competition from other banks, resulting in sub-optimal volumes

Increasing trend of WLAs may lead banks to close down unprofitable ATMs, resulting in aggregation of demand from all banks for WLAs and better profitability

WLAs May Lead to

Volume Aggregation

Key to Profitability:

Location &

Strong Cost Control

ATM profitability is largely dependent on transaction volumes, which is a result of pre-installation assessment and location identification

Monthly operational expenses (for 1 ATM) excluding rent range from INR 20,000 to INR 30,000. Key to profitability is to maintain these expenses at the lower spectrum

Overview

26

Low Penetration of POS Terminals Overview

POS terminals stood at 1,111,576 in Oct, 2014, implying a CAGR of ~22% in 2011-14 period

Lowest penetration of POS per million people among the emerging economies, indicating large potential for growth

Low penetration attributed to insignificant size of organized retail (~7% of total market) and low penetration in rural India

Other reasons include low transaction volumes in rural areas and high network costs in urban centres

Total number of POS transactions stood at 128 million in Oct 2014, with a monthly transaction value of US$ 4.9 billion

Positive Macro Drivers

Organized retail and hospitality (premium hotels) is a key driver of POS transaction value

― Retail industry to grow at 20% CAGR to reach ~US$ 760 bn by 2015. Penetration of organized retail increasing from 7% in 2012 to 10% in 2015

― Travel and tourism segment expected to grow at 8.2% through 2015. Hotel segment to reach a market of US$ 14 billion in 2015

‘Rupay’ is expected to bring down transaction charges

POS terminals increasingly being viewed as a low cost channel for collection of bills and making mobile payments

Emerging Opportunities

Installation Services

o Installation services deployment of PoS Devices at merchant locations

Third-party vendor provide the technology and transaction processing platforms, while the banks act as a sponsor for settlement of card transactions that take place on that PoS Network

In the race to cash upon the opportunities in the payment facilitation space, banks and third-party technology vendors are coming together to set up necessary infrastructure and create PoS networks of their own

Merchant Services

o Merchant services include merchant acquisition, merchant agreement and managing merchant profitability

Processing Services

o Processing services include authorization services and merchant settlement services

Maintenance Services

o Maintenance services include upkeep services for the PoS and other devices, as well as onsite training of the merchants with regard to use of the PoS devices for various transactions

Setting up PoS terminals helps strengthen the fee income component for banks

The merchant pays a commission of up to 1% per transaction, which is shared between the bank setting up the PoS terminal, the card issuing company and the payment gateway like Visa or MasterCard used

Expanding its PoS base helps banks to widen its customer base

As all participating merchants are required to open an account with the sponsor banks, setting up PoS terminals helps the to both widen its customer base and also improve its share of low-cost deposits

Current Issues with Conventional PoS Major Players

Lack of profitability of Merchant Acquirers: Current MA model has low spreads, making it unviable to service small/ medium merchants

Poor use of technology: Business calls for extreme cost control and efficiency. However, most merchants are used to technicians doing site visits to perform simple upgrades

High-cost POS devices: India is a country with majority of low-ticket transactions. Addressing the market requires economic equations that are different from ones used in Western world

M PoS Advantages

Mobility and low cost

A business model which is suited to low ticket transactions and merchant & acquirer economics

Target markets for M-POS players are ecommerce, home delivery businesses – restaurants, taxi service providers, insurance agents, pathology labs and similar businesses

Aurum View on POS Segment

31

Conventional POS

Suited to

Large Merchants

Conventional POS machines cost between INR 20,000-25,000 per terminal. This cost along with 1%-2% of transaction value makes economic sense for larger merchants who have bigger transaction volumes

Aurum sees constrained growth in the conventional POS market, with majority of merchants eliminated by high cost structure

Low upfront investment (INR 2,000-3,000) reduces the payback period for the merchant significantly

Mobility is also a key advantage with booming e-commerce market and increasing preference towards home delivery for variety of goods

Merchant acquirers, even in M-PoS operate on wafer thin margins

Only way to recover high marketing and distribution costs is through achieving economies of scale in transaction volumes

Distribution presents a high barrier to entry and increases the gestation period significantly

Aurum believes the market to be dominated by 2 largest players in the near term

Ezetap and M Swipe being first movers and with robust investor backing are best positioned to dominate the market

New players with innovative allied products might generate investor interest

With proportionate growth in volume and value of POS transactions Debit card growth has registered a CAGR of ~30% over

the past 8 years and is likely to moderate to 20% growth over next 3 years

This is attributed to

— Opening of new bank accounts to the tune of 20-25 mn annually

— Additional 20 - 25 mn existing account holders are being issued debit cards each year

Growth is mainly because of banks promoting debit card spends by offering incentives like cash back and loyalty rewards

Increasing per capita Income and growing consumption

Increasing net worth of the affluent class in India

— Credit card ownership amongst the affluent class is the lowest in the world

— Industry sources estimate that ~20% of the affluent people have credit cards in India compared to over 80% in countries, such as the US, the UK and Hong Kong

Favorable RBI Guidelines

— No regulatory restrictions on issuing credit cards for foreign banks, as opposed to commencing banking operations

— Enhanced security measures:

o All banks have migrated to EMV Chip and PIN based cards

o These cards are more secure against credit card fraud

— This will significantly help in consumers confidence and lead to an increasing number of transactions

Emerging Opportunities and Challenges

Potential Opportunities in the Indian Prepaid cards market

• With government’s focus on financial inclusion and adoption of prepaid cards across various sectors like education, tourism, transit ticketing, the segment is poised to witness robust growth

• Recently RBI doubled the maximum prepaid card limit to INR 1 lakh stored value

Public sector: One of the potential opportunities can be the use of prepaid cards for paying wages in government welfare schemes like NREGS

• Governments in most of the major developing economies are beginning to use prepaid cards for making payments such as payroll, unemployment benefits, pension payments, disability benefits, disbursements and food vouchers

43

Challenges

• Awareness about prepaid cards is still at a very nascent stage which creates adoption barriers

• Scalability of such instruments is an issue for non banking entities as distribution reach is one of the major determinants of success

• Long gestation period due to large initial investment in establishing reach

• Regulatory challenges as no retailer can on its own have a prepaid card without partnering with a bank

• Escrow requirements and eligibility to issue various type of cards presents a challenge for non-bank players

Debit Cards to

Show Robust Growth

Debit cards are the foundation on which growth prospects of other sub-segments hinge

The historical growth momentum (30% annual growth) is expected to sustain with more population served by banking services and government’s focus on financial inclusion

With growing middle class and disposable incomes, Aurum believes transaction value over cards will increase non-linearly

This is expected to benefit all the related segments including ATMs, PoS, Payment Gateways, Mobile Wallets etc.

Government usage of prepaid cards in implementation of welfare scheme will be a key determinant of growth

High initial investment, user reluctance and RBI restriction on open loop cards to affect growth of non-bank entities, ItzCash being the only scalable player

Cards segment is dominated by Banks with some of the processing as well as reporting activities being outsourced

Increased focus by banks on getting the customers to transact outside the branch, saving costs

Mobile Wallet: A New Way to Pay

52

Source: Aurum Research

Prepaid instruments that involve the holder paying in cash for a corresponding amount of credit to be “loaded” onto his mobile

Stored credit can then be used for the purchase of goods and services or for the transfer of funds

Lack of awareness and skepticism around the new concept

High marketing costs to create a consumer brand of trust

Low entry barrier resulting in wafer thin margins

Stringent policies on restriction of cash-out facility

Alternate channels of money transfer and other applications

Challenges

M-Wallet market estimated at INR 3,500 mn in 2014 and is estimated to grow 3 fold to INR 12,100 by 2019

Rapid growth expected on the back of increasing demand for smartphones and rising mobile internet users (92% growth in 2013)

Alternate to existing prepaid cards and traditional ways on online payments

Aurum View on Electronic Payments (1/2)

Online Payment

Gateways:

To Lead Growth

Online payment gateways form the back bone of the e-commerce revolution that we are witnessing

Aurum expects transaction volumes to grow exponentially as more users transact online

Although existing large players are better positioned to take advantage, there is scope for newer players offering better customer experience and related features

Segment will continue to attract investor interest with existing players leading large ticket size fund raisings

Aurum believes mobile to be the focal point of the current ‘Internet Revolution’

Nascent stage of the industry and low customer awareness are some of the challenges to be overcome

High marketing budgets to build a trusted consumer brand will result in 2-3 players dominating the market (Paytm, MobiKwik)

Business and ECS (debit/credit) transactions are driven by banks, with solutions provided by non bank entities

Aurum believes it to be a bank dominated domain with minimal role for non-bank payment companies

Payment Gateways:

Continued Investor

Interest

Mobile Wallet:

Loyalty: An Upcoming

Segment

Loyalty programs in payment products is emerging as a high growth segment, attracting investor interest

Banks placing large importance to loyalty to maintain customer stickiness

Loylty Rewardz is a dominant player controlling over 60% of the market in cards loyalty programs

Global loyalty players are also eyeing India to participate in this nascent high growth market. Aimia signed an exclusive contract with Axis Bank to manage its rewards program

Payment solutions represent an important allied activity for e-commerce companies. Aurum believes e-commerce players will acquire well run payment companies to develop in-house capabilities

Aurum believes it to be a bank dominated domain with minimal role for non-bank payment companies

Consolidation on

the Cards

o Increasing shift towards online is expected to result in high growth for this segment

o In-line with government’s vision to move towards ‘cashless’ economy

o Aurum expects large number of software product start-ups to come up in this space, resulting in increased fund raising activity

Success Stories and Aurum View

58

Global Success Stories

M-Pesa

— Mobile payments service launched in 2007 by Safaricom (Vodafone owns 40% ) in Kenya has been a runaway success

— Over US$1 billion monthly money transfers through M-Pesa in Kenya with nearly 13 million customers. In Tanzania, 5 million people do transactions worth US$ 1.5 billion

— Both Safaricom and Vodacom (Vodafone owns 65% ), the mobile operators offering it in Kenya and Tanzania, earn about 20% of revenues from it

Aurum View

Telecom players with ready distribution reach in partnership with banks are best positioned to capitalize on this opportunity

New business model has concerns about profitability and competition from alternate channels/ other players

High volumes, low transaction size model to require best use of technology for cost efficient operations

Attracting deposits might not be easy as Payment Banks will compete with Commercial Banks which can offer higher savings rates (already present in rural areas with Jan Dhan Yojana)

Brand building and customer education to require large upfront investments

Aurum has a positive long term view on the segment as Commercial Banks struggle to match the reach and low cost structures that these new entities might offer

Transactions in Payment Services: Aurum View

Source: Aurum Research

Payment services has gone through a subdued period in terms of investment activity in the last 2 years, with intense competition resulting in wafer thin margins

Most investments have been focused on specific segments including ATMs, M-PoS and Payment Gateways

Companies have not performed as per investor’s expectations and exits have been few. Only Prizm Payment transaction provided a healthy exit for the existing PE/VC funds

Large corporate houses have preferred to build businesses organically as opposed to acquiring an existing player, due to high valuation expectations

With the new government at centre and renewed investor sentiment, the space has already started generating more buzz in investor circles

Segment-wise Aurum view:

— ATM: To see large ticket size fund raisings. Existing players to scale up

— PoS: M-PoS to generate investor interest. Two players, Ezetap and M Swipe to absorb majority of funding

— Cards: Loyalty to be a segment to watch out for. Interest in prepaid cards dependent on govt. initiatives

— Electronic:

o Payment Gateways: Online Payment Gateways to attract maximum interest. Larger players, e-commerce/ payment companies might look for acquisitions

o M Wallet: Top 2 players to dominate the market and attract investor interest. Smaller players might get consolidated
