SecMark Consultancy Board Backs ₹15 Crore Account Aggregator Venture
SecMark Consultancy Ltd's board has approved a proposal to invest up to ₹15 crore into a new venture. The strategic move, dated May 13, 2026, aims to establish and operate an Account Aggregator (NBFC-AA) business.
Board Approves New Venture
SecMark Consultancy Limited's board of directors has approved a strategic investment. The company plans to invest up to ₹15 crore into a new entity for launching and operating a Non-Banking Financial Company - Account Aggregator (NBFC-AA) business. The proposal received board approval on May 13, 2026, marking its entry into the digital financial services sector.
Strategic Rationale
This move diversifies SecMark Consultancy into a key part of India's digital financial infrastructure. Account Aggregators facilitate consent-based data sharing for financial services. This presence positions the company to tap into the expanding digital finance market.
Company Background
SecMark Consultancy has experience in financial advisory and capital markets. This background offers insight into regulatory and financial operations. The company is now applying this expertise to a more digitally focused, regulated service.
Key Changes
- Entering the regulated Account Aggregator (NBFC-AA) business.
- Expanding SecMark Consultancy's presence in digital financial services.
- Diversifying beyond traditional advisory and merchant banking.
- Securing necessary licenses, including from the RBI.
Regulatory Hurdles
The main risk is obtaining necessary regulatory approvals and licenses. Without Reserve Bank of India (RBI) approval, the venture's launch could be stalled or prevented.
Competitive Landscape
Companies like Finvu, a subsidiary of 5Paisa Capital, already operate as NBFC-AAs. Finvu enables consent-driven financial data sharing, a model SecMark aims for. CAMS provides technology platforms for financial data aggregation.
Next Steps
- Confirmation of all required RBI and other regulatory approvals.
- Details on the new entity's structure (subsidiary or JV).
- The timeline for launching the NBFC-AA business and its initial services.
- SecMark Consultancy's strategic partnerships or technology providers.
