Aditya Birla Capital Ltd. is gearing up to make a significant impact on the fintech industry with the impending launch of its all-inclusive financial super app, ABCD, slated for release on April 16.

What Happened: According to a report by Moneycontrol, Aditya Birla Capital is stepping into the fintech arena with its super app, ABCD. The app, currently undergoing testing within a closed user group, aims to provide a broad spectrum of financial services on a singular digital platform.

The ABCD app will consolidate all of the group’s financial products, ranging from payments to insurance. Additional features will include credit cards, international UPI, financial goal analyzers, AI-powered chatbots, tax planners, and health tracking.

Motilal Oswal analysts have praised the app as a comprehensive platform, meticulously designed with customer insights. The app is anticipated to transform the ABCL workforce into multi-product specialists.

Why it matters: ABCD follows in the footsteps of conglomerate-backed Jio Financial Services and Tata Digital, both of which have attempted to create a unified super financial app with captive businesses, capital, and tech prowess.

Targeting middle-class and tech-savvy ‘young aspirers,’ ABCD, bundled with the services of its financial subsidiaries, has seen the group infuse equity capital of ₹850 crore into Aditya Birla Finance to sustain growth momentum.

On the consumer front, ABCD will incorporate a payments stack, including UPI and bill payments. It aims to keep pace with major new offerings in the ecosystem, such as UPI international, Rupay credit cards on UPI, and UPI 123 pay — all set to go live in the upcoming app.

ABCD will also allow users to make a single payment by debiting multiple bank accounts. The company plans to collaborate with fintech companies through its startup engagement platform—Infinite– to address business challenges and accelerate the adoption of emerging technologies.
