BENGALURU: Fino Paytech, the payments technology company and promoter of Fino Payments Bank has invested an undisclosed sum in a Mumbai based fintech startup CityCash, mainly to bring in Near Field communication enabled cashless payments.

Through the partnership Fino will attempt to digitise public transport payment for consumers taking the bus, auto or cabs in the country.
