Skydo, a leading cross border payments platform has received Payment Service Provider (PSP) approval from Amazon. This makes Skydo one of the first homegrown platforms to offer seamless international payments for lakhs of Indian exporters selling on Amazon global marketplaces.

With this, exporters on Amazon can receive their international payouts through Skydo in a secure and cost-effective manner. Skydo is partnered with HDFC Bank and compliant with RBI regulations. Through their payment solutions, Skydo has already empowered over 10,000 Indian exporters to receive their international payments seamlessly.

Amazon has recently announced plans to enable over USD 80 billion in cumulative e-commerce exports from India by 2030, quadrupling its earlier pledge of USD 20 billion by 2025. This highlights the robust demand for ‘Made in India’ products and the crucial role of payment service providers like Skydo in processing international payments for India’s rapidly growing exports.

Our mission is to empower Indian exporters by eliminating inefficiencies and ensuring convenient and cost-effective cross-border transactions. Skydo’s advanced risk, compliance, and fraud prevention infrastructure ensures that sellers can operate with confidence in the global marketplace," said Srivatsan Sridhar, CEO of Skydo.

Managing cross-border payments and navigating export compliance are major challenges for businesses expanding globally. Skydo is addressing these challenges by building a comprehensive ecosystem of services around payments tailored to Amazon sellers. This will help Indian MSMEs and D2C startups focus on growth and extend their reach to global markets.
