Business Banking & Payments
Open
Indian connected-banking platform unifying banking, payments, and accounting for SMBs.
FindThatSoftware verdictEditorial ruling
A useful option for Indian SMBs that want banking, payments, and reconciliation unified rather than juggling a bank portal and separate tools. As a partner-bank platform, confirm which banking features and limits apply. Verify current pricing and account terms on the official site.
FindThatSoftware has source-checked this listing and keeps 2 public sources visible for buyer verification.
Should you use Open?
Use it if indian SMBs unifying banking + payments. Avoid it if founders who want to sign up today and see value the same week, since every plan needs a scoping call first.

The trade-off, weighed
What you gain, and what you give up.
The case for
- Built for the Indian stack, with connectivity across 40 plus Indian banks and integrations into Tally, Zoho, SAP, NetSuite and Oracle.
- GST work is part of the product rather than a bolt-on, covering GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, GSTR-9 filings and input tax credit reconciliation.
- One screen consolidates balances, statements and approvals across multiple entities, which multi-bank groups otherwise stitch together in spreadsheets.
The catch
- No prices are published anywhere, all three plans route to a sales call, so you cannot compare Open against alternatives before committing time.
- Pricing is shaped by six separate variables including support model and automation depth, meaning two similar companies land on different numbers.
- The pricing page promises no surprise pricing while showing no rupee figure at any tier, which is a claim you cannot check.
- Getting started is an implementation project covering bank account setup, user access, approval flows, integrations and team training rather than a signup.
