Findi Secures Perpetual RBI Licence to Expand ATM Network Across India


 

Findi Limited (ASX: FND) has reached a strategic milestone with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) granting it a perpetual White Label ATM (WLA) licence, a move that eliminates deployment quotas and annual renewals. This landmark development strengthens Findi’s long-term vision of becoming a leading digital bank in India while accelerating its nationwide ATM expansion.

The perpetual licence, announced on 26 June 2025, allows Findi to operate its ATM network indefinitely—subject only to ongoing regulatory compliance. This marks a major shift from the earlier model, which involved fixed-term renewals and deployment constraints. With this development, Findi now has the operational freedom to plan large-scale infrastructure investments and enter underserved regions with improved confidence and strategic clarity.

The approval follows the formal rebranding of Tata Communications Payment Solutions Ltd (TCPSL) to Findi India Ltd, aligning regulatory and brand identities. Executive Chairman Nicholas Smedley stated that the perpetual licence not only confirms the RBI’s confidence in Findi’s governance and operational standards but also accelerates the Company’s mission to enable financial access across rural and semi-urban India.

Currently managing more than 14,000 branded ATMs and processing over 1 billion transactions annually, Findi is a dominant force in India’s ATM and digital payments ecosystem. The perpetual licence enables it to deepen its reach in regions underserved by traditional banks, while also supporting government-led financial inclusion initiatives.

This regulatory green light arrives at a time when India’s demand for reliable cash access and digital services is growing rapidly. As Findi continues to scale, the perpetual licence lays the groundwork for tighter integration between its ATM, merchant, and digital banking services—reinforcing its transition into a full-service digital bank.

From both a market and investor standpoint, this development boosts confidence in Findi’s long-term outlook. With its share price up and market cap now at AUD 270 million, Findi is well-positioned to lead the next wave of financial inclusion and digital infrastructure growth in India.

Resolution Minerals Strikes Significant Gold at Horse Heaven, Idaho

Image
  Australian-listed miner Resolution Minerals (ASX: RML) has announced a breakthrough discovery at its Horse Heaven Project in Idaho, USA. The first diamond-core drill hole at the Golden Gate prospect (HH-GG25-001C) intersected a broad near-surface gold zone — 189.2 metres @ 1.30 g/t Au from a depth of just 34.1 metres. Impressively, mineralisation bottoms  out and remains open at depth. Notably, the intercept includes severa l higher-grade zones: 12.9 m @ 2.32 g/t Au from 94.4 m and 70.8 m @ 2.24 g/t Au from 128.8 m. These results suggest the presence of an intrusion-hosted gold system — a deposit style known for large tonnage potential — similar to that found at the nearby Stibnite Gold Project located only ~6 km away. The initial “Phase 1” drilling campaign comprised  10 holes totalling 2,770.6 metres, though only the first hole’s assay results have been released so far. Resolution plans to submit permits for a follow-up program of up to 50 holes to systematically test...
