--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The payment and fintech arm of Peak XV Partners-backed asset management company Neo Group, NeoFinity, has launched a new digital payments tag called ‘NeoZAP’ at INR 499.
Equipped with NFC (Near Field Communication) technology, the payment tag comes in the form of a wearable sticker that can be easily attached to the back of a phone. The tag can be used to make payments with a simple tap on card machines, removing the requirement for physical cards or internet connectivity.
While NeoZAP can be ordered from the company’s website, it is yet to officially announce the launch of the payment tag.
NeoZAP works without internet or battery and can be used to make payments for both online and offline transactions. The company claims that the payment tag has a transaction speed of 480 milliseconds, which makes it the “quickest payment method available in the market”.
Speaking with Inc42, NeoFinity cofounder and CEO Rayan Malhotra said, “The idea behind launching NeoZAP stemmed from identifying gaps in existing payment methods like UPI and cards. Despite UPI’s efficiency, its process — unlocking the phone, scanning QR codes, and entering a PIN — proved slow. NeoZAP was conceived to address these shortcomings, offering a faster payment experience”.
While Malhotra said that the tag is priced at INR 999, early adopters can buy it for INR 499. However, it can be pre booked at INR 33 on the company’s website.
The company claims that the tag works on all RuPay-compliant card machines. Malhotra also said that the tag facilitates online transactions through a virtual card available on its app which is recognised by ecommerce players like Amazon and Flipkart. It can also be used to avail various public transportation services across the country.
“With NeoZAP, users can travel nationwide on metro, rail, and buses without the need for a separate smart card. NeoZAP’s national compatibility makes it usable across all metros and buses, including those in Delhi, Chennai, and more, with tap services supported. It is National Common Mobility Card (NCMC) enabled, embodying the concept of one nation, one tag”, added Malhotra.
NeoFinity is largely looking to cater to Gen Z and millennial (18-35 age group) users in urban and Tier-II cities.
The platform is also looking to woo customers by offering, what it calls, India’s first prepaid card with fraud insurance payment. It has partnered with HDFC Ergo to offer digital fraud insurance, providing users with added peace of mind and financial protection.
On the security front, NeoFinity claims that transactions below INR 2,000 require no PIN entry on NeoZAP. However, it has an eight-step built-in security feature for transactions above this threshold.
Other features include numberless card designs, prepaid wallet model (which limits exposure to potential fraud), and other privacy measures that ensure sensitive information remains secure.
In addition, the fintech company has also partnered with brands such as Times Prime, PVR, INOX, Swiggy, and Zomato to enable users to unlock rewards and discounts with every transaction.
Looking ahead, the company aims to onboard 100,000 customers in the first year. It also plans to expand its offerings to include credit card options and innovative features like customisable tags, Malhotra added.
NeoFinity is the fintech venture of the Neo Group, which has four key verticals – wealth advisory, asset management, multi-family offices and a wealth management platform for independent advisors.
Neo Group was founded in May 2022 by Nitin Jain, former wealth management CEO at PAG-Edelweiss Financial Services. The Peak XV-backed company oversees over $3 Bn in assets under advisement, including $360 Mn in assets under management (AUM)
It is pertinent to note that fintech startup LivQuik, in partnership with National payments Corporation of India (NPCI), launched an ‘OTG Ring’ last year. The wearable ring is similar to NeoZAP and allows users to make contactless payments.

one time 499?

Welcome to the future of payments.
Your journey to exclusive & effortless transactions begins now.
You’ve reserved your place among
the select few users who’ll experience NeoZAP before others.
Got it for Rs. 33
Thanks @abhishek012
Yes the same is happening
Registered for it. Nice share bro! 👍🏼
The company is legit - very experienced people from financial side. They have raised good funding from Peak XV last year. So credibility is quite high!
I love the idea & website design. Let's hope the product is good 🙏🏻
Well it's something never hured about and their charging a booking amount of Rs.33 per customer and what if it never launches ? 33*10 lakh would make them 3.3cr and imagine more people adding on fomo basis Goodluck people rather the intelligent ones wait for its launch if it ever does
Then it will become Freedom 251
Most cards these days are tap based. What's so special in this?
Good question
I just applied because of virtual wallet thing, other wise i wont have:)
This sounds like that "freedom phone 251" xD
anyone remember? how many of you agree?
Fun fact:
I never tried Freedom phone 251
but now trying this NeoFinity
Wish me luck people xD
Side note: I just applied because of virtual wallet thing, other wise i wont have:)
VU+ for the quick info sharing:)
Disclaimer -
Free movie tickets every month on spends above ₹7,500
It is probably a CC so you will have to spend money to be eligible for the offer. You can't just transfer money from one account to another and claim the benefits
Will the Timesprime lite work on an account in which the subscription is over (Old account) or is it only for new account?
So this site is charging 33 rs for pre-book?
Yes, and we get sms link for invoice once completed
Add Axis Neo RuPay to PayZapp and you have your own NeoZap
Skipping this as the phone is already having nfc
Every time you refresh the site the counter drops by 5 . Very gimmicky 🤣
for those who are in doubt.
1. it's not a credit card, it's just a prepaid card (you need to load money to wallet to use this card)
2. it's not LTF (as per their terms they can add fee at any time)
3. it's not so useful if you have nfc in your mobile
4. we have already cards with same functionality
5. rewards are not at all attractive
6. best alternate is firstap from idfc which is available at ontime fee of just 99rs.
overall it's a bad deal in general.
1/5
just registered to see if this virtual card is useful for cc rotation transfers:)
if this card really comes out
registered
Vu Thank you for sharing this valuable information, buddy. Registered successfully
All debit and credit cards have been NFC enabled. No need to purchase a new Tag. This is just a gimmick trick from new startup.
Nice
Bachpan mein stickers collect Kia karte the....purane din yaad aa gaye
I would get it if it's a NFC ring I can wear.
they can offer it in Resin, steel, and Gold at 2000rs, 5000rs and 50000rs respectively
It's over more than 3 Months still 5000 users not registered in INDIA when this has been channelized over bigger reachable audiences through these Tech platforms
Has anyone got an Update on these especially the Pre-Booked members
OR
this is turning out to be another Swindle
