Mumbai, 10th Sep, 2026: Mint Money, the fintech app from the Hindustan Times Group, today announced the launch of its app with Bill Payments, powered by Bharat Connect, the Bharat Bill Payment System (BBPS) ecosystem operated by NPCI Bharat BillPay Limited (NBBL), at Global Fintech Fest 2026.
The launch marks an important expansion of Mint Money’s proposition – bringing together trusted financial content, financial tools and now bill payments to help Indians make the right money decisions.
Mint Money expands its offering with integrated Bill Payments
With Bill Payments, users can track their bills, receive timely reminders and make payments directly within the Mint Money app. The experience also enables instant settlement, Auto Pay and rewards on bill payments, bringing convenience and better money management together in one place.
Puneet Jain, CEO – Digital, HT Media Group, said, “Access to financial instruments has become easy for the masses – credit, investment and insurance are everywhere. What’s missing is guidance on what’s actually right for you. That is why we built Mint Money – bringing together Mint’s legacy of trusted financial content with the right financial products, and services, that help people understand, decide and act. With Bill Payments, we are taking that mission into everyday money management, helping users not just make a payment, but understand what they are paying for, why it matters and then make that payment with greater confidence.”

What makes this collaboration particularly significant is that it is the first of its kind in India’s news media space and is being undertaken with one of the country’s largest and most trusted media groups. When we began exploring the idea of bringing Bharat Connect-enabled bill payments to Mint Money, supported by the Hindustan Times Group’s content-led guidance, we could immediately see the possibilities it could unlock across geographies, consumer segments and payment categories. By combining the reach and trust of the Hindustan Times Group with the strength of the Bharat Connect ecosystem, we hope to make digital bill payments more accessible, relevant and seamless for millions of consumers across India.
