Reaching a MyPursu traveler wallet and its UPI payment ledger

A MyPursu account carries a prepaid rupee balance, a running ledger of scan-and-pay and Pay-to-UPI transactions across the merchants a traveler visits, and Remit2any remittance and wallet movements — all behind a login that does not need an Indian bank account or SIM. The interesting part for an integrator is that the same account ties together three otherwise separate worlds: an overseas funding card (the app describes loading via international travel cards such as Wise and Revolut), India's UPI merchant network, and a concierge layer that books flights, cabs, hotels and parcels. We map those surfaces into one documented interface so a partner system can read balances and transaction history without a person re-keying anything from the app screens.

The route we would actually run pairs two things. The wallet ledger, the UPI payee records and the concierge bookings live inside MyPursu's own authenticated session, so those come from authorized interface integration with the account holder's consent. The bank account and card movements that fund the wallet come through India's Account Aggregator consent flow where the holding institution is a registered provider. Neither alone is the whole picture; together they are.

What the account holds

Each row below is a surface the app already renders to its own user. We model the same data into a stable schema.

Getting to the data

Three routes apply to this app. We set up the access for each as part of the project, working with you and the account holder.

Authorized interface integration of the app session

The wallet ledger, UPI payee records and concierge bookings are only ever exposed through MyPursu's own authenticated client. We analyze that traffic — the login, the token issuance and refresh, the pagination on the history calls — and rebuild it as clean server-side endpoints under the holder's consent. This reaches the most app-specific data and is the route we would lead with here, because the wallet and UPI history simply do not exist on any bank statement. Effort is moderate; durability depends on how often the app's front end shifts, which the maintenance step covers.

RBI Account Aggregator consent for the funding legs

The bank account and, where applicable, the deposit movements behind the wallet can be pulled through the Account Aggregator framework, a consent-based system the RBI regulates through licensed NBFC-AAs. This leg is durable and audit-clean by design — the consent is explicit, revocable and logged — but it only covers data held by registered Financial Information Providers, not the in-app wallet itself. We wire it in as the bank-side complement.

Native export as a fallback

Where the app or its web companion offers the user a statement or transaction export, we treat that as a low-effort fallback path for historical pulls. It is the least flexible of the three and rarely complete on its own, so it backs up the session integration rather than standing alone.

For most teams the first route carries the work and the Account Aggregator leg fills in the funding side; the export path is there for backfill. We confirm which combination fits once we see the account in question.

What lands in your repo

The deliverable is a working integration, not a report. For MyPursu that means:

• An OpenAPI/Swagger specification covering balance, the UPI transaction ledger, Remit2any movements and concierge bookings, with field types and example payloads.
• A protocol and auth-flow report documenting MyPursu's login, token issuance and refresh, and the session/cookie chain as observed during the build.
• Runnable source for the key endpoints in Python or Node.js — authenticate, fetch balance, page the transaction history, normalize the ledger.
• Automated tests against recorded responses so the contract is pinned and regressions surface early.
• Interface documentation plus compliance and data-retention guidance shaped around the wallet's PPI status and the DPDP Act.

Where the Account Aggregator leg is in scope, we add the consent-request and data-fetch wiring for that flow alongside the app-session code.

A wallet pull, sketched

Illustrative only — field names and the auth shape are confirmed against the live session during the build, not guessed here. The pattern is a token exchange followed by a paged ledger read.

POST /auth/session            # exchange app credentials for a bearer token
{ "device_id": "...", "principal": "<consented account>" }
-> 200 { "access_token": "ey...", "refresh_token": "...", "expires_in": 900 }

GET  /wallet/balance          # current prepaid value
Authorization: Bearer ey...
-> 200 { "currency": "INR", "available": 4820.50, "as_of": "2026-06-05T09:11:03Z" }

GET  /wallet/ledger?type=upi&cursor=0&limit=50
Authorization: Bearer ey...
-> 200 {
     "items": [
       { "id": "txn_8821", "amount": 240.00, "payee_vpa": "merchant@upi",
         "kind": "scan_pay", "status": "SUCCESS", "ts": "2026-06-04T17:02:55Z" }
     ],
     "next_cursor": "50"
   }

# on 401, refresh once and retry; on 429, honor Retry-After before paging on

Consent and the RBI side

MyPursu's wallet is a prepaid payment instrument, which puts it under the RBI's PPI framework, while its merchant payments ride NPCI's UPI rails. The RBI is currently consulting on a redrafted PPI Master Direction — comments were open into 2026 — so specific limits and cross-border provisions are in flux; we treat those numbers as moving and design around the stable parts rather than quoting thresholds as settled. The dependable basis for any extraction is the account holder's own authorization: the user consents, and on the bank-and-card legs that consent runs through a licensed Account Aggregator that shows every request, captures the consent, and keeps an audit log without ever holding the data in the clear.

Personal data is governed by India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. We work data-minimized — the KYC block stays out of the extracted schema unless an integration needs it — keep consent records and access logs, and sign an NDA where the engagement calls for one.

Engineering we plan for

Two things about MyPursu specifically shape how we build, and we handle both inside the project:

• Funding straddles two regimes. Money enters from an overseas card (the app cites Wise- and Revolut-style sources) and is spent on Indian UPI rails. We model the funding event and the spend event as distinct records with their own currencies and timestamps, so a partner system reconciling load-versus-spend never conflates the two sides of the wallet.
• The visitor session is short-lived by design. A traveler's activation, KYC and token lifetime are scoped to a trip, so we design the sync around the token-refresh window and the trip horizon rather than assuming a long-lived login, and we pin pagination so a partially-fetched history resumes cleanly.
• Front-end drift. Consumer payment apps re-skin and re-route often. We pin the auth and ledger behavior we observe and put a re-validation pass into maintenance, so a changed flow is caught and patched instead of failing quietly.

Access to a consenting account or a sponsor sandbox is arranged with you during onboarding; it is something the project sets up, not a checklist you clear first.

Where teams use this

• A corporate travel desk syncing each traveler's MyPursu UPI spend into an expense system without manual entry.
• A remittance or NRI-services platform reconciling Remit2any movements against its own ledger.
• A trip-management tool pulling concierge bookings (flight, cab, hotel, parcel) into a single itinerary view.

Working with us

Source-code delivery starts at $300, and you pay only after we hand over a working build and you have checked it against your own account. That package is the runnable endpoints, the OpenAPI spec, the auth-flow report, the tests and the interface docs — yours to run on your own infrastructure. If you would rather not host anything, the second model is a pay-per-call hosted API: we run the integration, you call our endpoints and pay for the calls, with no upfront fee. Either way the build cycle is one to two weeks. Tell us the app and what you need from its data, and we take it from there — start a project on the contact page.

Questions integrators ask

Which records sit behind a MyPursu login that an integration can reach?

The account holds a prepaid rupee balance, a ledger of scan-and-pay and Pay-to-UPI transactions, Remit2any remittance and wallet movements, concierge bookings (flight, cab, hotel, parcel), the source cards used to load funds, and the KYC profile a traveler submits. Each maps to a screen the app already renders for the user, which is what we model into endpoints.

MyPursu is a prepaid wallet, not a bank — does the RBI Account Aggregator route still apply?

Partly. Account Aggregator consent covers the bank and card legs that feed the wallet where those holders are registered FIPs. The wallet ledger and UPI history inside MyPursu itself are reached through authorized interface integration of the app's own authenticated session, run with the account holder's consent. We combine both so the picture is complete rather than bank-side only.

How do you handle the passport-and-visa KYC data MyPursu stores?

It stays data-minimized. Unless an integration explicitly needs identity fields, we exclude the KYC block from the extracted schema and keep only the transaction and balance surfaces, with access logged and consent recorded under India's DPDP Act posture. If identity is in scope, we document retention and redaction with you.

Will the integration break when MyPursu changes its app or token flow?

We build against the live authenticated flow and pin the auth and pagination behavior we observe, then include a re-validation step in maintenance so a front-end or token change is caught and patched rather than failing silently in production.
