Jupiter Money has appointed Akhilesh Jha as Senior Vice President, Banking and Partnerships. In this leadership role, he will oversee banking alliances and expand the company’s product ecosystem across savings, credit, and payments.
With over 20 years of experience in retail banking, digital strategy, and fintech partnerships, Jha most recently served as Head of Retail Banking Portfolio at DBS Bank. His appointment comes at a time when Jupiter Money is accelerating its presence across tier 2 and 3 cities, expanding access to digital banking for underserved users.
The company recently partnered with CSB Bank to launch a RuPay credit card with UPI integration and cashback rewards, and also received RBI approval to introduce a prepaid wallet feature. Jupiter currently offers an all-in-one savings account in partnership with Federal Bank, enabling users to manage UPI, debit cards, mutual funds and more via a single app.
“We are thrilled to welcome Akhilesh to the leadership team,” said Rohit Kumar Pandey, President – Jupiter Money. “He brings a strong mix of traditional banking expertise and fintech thinking. As we grow our credit, savings and payment offerings, his experience will help us shape deeper, more meaningful collaborations with partner banks and financial institutions.”
Akhilesh Jha added, “Jupiter Money is creating a bold new approach to banking, one that puts user experience and power of partnerships at the core. In the current dynamic financial landscape, banks are presented with a substantial opportunity to forge strategic collaborations with fintechs like Jupiter Money specializing in digital platform setup and portfolio management. Such collaborations create a mutually beneficial ecosystem for all three stakeholders while adhering to the regulatory guidelines – customers enjoy a superior digital experience and strong value proposition; banks unlock a new digital channel to attract high-quality customers and generate shared revenue; and Jupiter delivers its digital-first offerings while participating in the value created. I’m genuinely excited about the opportunity to contribute to these partnerships and help shape innovative financial solutions with the team.”
