OneCard posts Rs 1,878 Cr revenue in FY25, cuts losses by 26%

Mobile-first credit card startup OneCard continued to scale and moved close to the Rs 2,000 crore mark, with total revenue crossing Rs 1,900 crore in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. The company also reduced its losses during the year.

OneCard’s operating revenue increased by 32% to Rs 1,878 crore in FY25 from Rs 1,425.5 crore in FY24, according to its financial statement sourced from the Registrar of Companies (RoC).

Founded in 2019, OneCard (FPL Technologies) provides co-branded credit cards, largely aimed at first-time users, through partnerships with IDFC First Bank, Federal Bank and SBM Bank. It also runs OneScore, an app for credit score tracking and credit management. Revenue from these services was the sole source of income for the company. 

Despite strong growth, OneCard continued to post losses, although cash burn eased. The company reported a loss of Rs 297.5 crore in FY25, down 26% from Rs 401 crore in FY24.

On the cost side, OneCard’s total expenses grew 18% to Rs 2,206 crore in FY25 from Rs 1,866 crore in FY24. However, the company failed to disclose the majority of its expense breakdown, with 73% of its total expenditure being reported under miscellaneous expenses.

Advertising and promotional spends saw a notable decline of nearly 40% to Rs 294 crore in FY25 from Rs 488 crore in FY24. Employee benefit expenses increased 26% to Rs 181.5 crore, while IT expenses rose 14% to Rs 67 crore. Finance costs almost doubled to Rs 18 crore during the year.

With the company’s revenue outgrowing its expenses, OneCard’s loss decreased 26% to Rs 297.5 crore in FY25 from Rs 401 crore in FY24. Its ROCE and EBITDA margin stood at -41.03% and -15.71% respectively.

On a unit basis, OneCard spent Rs 1.17 to earn Re 1 of operating revenue during FY25, better than Rs 1.31 in FY24. The company held cash and bank balances worth Rs 321 crore at the end of FY25 compared to Rs 447.5 crore a year earlier. Its current assets stood at Rs 907 crore in the same period.

According to TheKredible, OneCard has raised over $270 million to date. The company is in the process of raising Rs 40 crore (approximately $4.5 million) in debt funding from existing investor Alteria Capital.

Recently, OneCard came under the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) scrutiny, with the regulator reportedly asking its partner banks to halt the issuance of co-branded credit cards. The RBI is said to be seeking greater clarity on how data is shared between OneCard and its banking partners.
