The startup said that is proactively suspending services Uni Pay 1/3rd Card and the Uni Pay 1/2 Card, which will impact millions of users.
"This process will begin in phases for our customers starting today and will be concluded by Monday, August 22. While it is a decision taken with a heavy heart, we are always committed to being compliant and want to be on the right side of the regulations," the startup said in a statement.
Investors like General Catalyst, Elevation Capital and Lightspeed Venture Partners are backing Uni Cards.
"Bearing the fact in mind that the Uni Card is used for urgent needs like fee payments, medical bills and emergencies, we have ensured that every one of our customers will have access to their credit line through Uni Cash," said Nitin Gupta, Founder and CEO, Uni Cards.
