LONDON, UK – GIFT City, India [28.04.2026]
Interpolitan Money has received regulatory approval to operate within GIFT City, marking a significant step in the company’s global expansion and strengthening its cross-border capital infrastructure connecting international financial centres.
The approval enables Interpolitan Money to provide regulated financial services from GIFT City’s International Financial Services Centre (IFSC), a rapidly growing global financial hub designed to facilitate international financial activity from India.
Interpolitan Money becomes the first UK-headquartered Electronic Money Institutions (EMIs) authorised to operate from the framework, reinforcing the firm’s strategy of building a global network of regulated nodes.
Operating under the regulatory framework of the International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA), the IFSC provides a globally aligned regulatory environment for institutions supporting international financial services, including funds, banking, capital markets, and fintech.
For Interpolitan Money, the approval represents the next step in building its global infrastructure connecting key financial centres including London, Dubai, Mumbai and Toronto.
Through its presence in GIFT City, the company will be able to support intermediaries, corporates, funds and international investors operating between India and global markets with regulated multi-currency account infrastructure, cross-border payments and capital structuring support.
Harjinder Kang, His Majesty’s Trade Commissioner for South Asia and British Deputy High Commissioner for Western India, said:
“It is great to see British fintech firm Interpolitan Money PLC receiving the license to operate in Gujarat International Finance Tec-City [GIFT City]. As India’s International Financial Services Centre [IFSC] – GIFT offers a robust infrastructure for global payments and investments. Some of the UK’s leading banks are already operating within GIFT City and Interpolitan Money’s addition is a strong testament to the growing UK-India partnership in financial services. The trade deal we have signed with India unlocks many more opportunities for this sector as world-class UK financial institutions gear up to enter one of the fastest growing global markets.”
Anoop Nair, COO at Interpolitan Money, said:
“Receiving our IFSCA Certificate of Authorisation is a defining milestone, not just for Interpolitan, but for the UK-India payments corridor. As the first British payments business to be licensed in GIFT City, we are proud to be building a bridge between two of the world’s most important financial ecosystems. India’s ambition is extraordinary, and GIFT-IFSC is the gateway through which global capital will increasingly flow. Our authorisation to provide account issuance, e-money, cross-border transfer, and escrow services from GIFT City means we can now offer our clients a fully regulated, institutionally trusted platform at the intersection of the UK, UAE, and India, three of the most strategically connected markets in the world. This is the beginning of something significant.”
Interpolitan Money expects to launch services from GIFT City later this year, supporting international businesses and capital structures.
As global financial markets continue to fragment across regulatory environments, the need for such resilient infrastructure has become increasingly important for businesses operating internationally.
Interpolitan’s presence in GIFT City will help support this demand, providing a regulated operational layer connecting global financial structures to the international payments ecosystem.
