The super-app for global Indians now lets an AI agent handle remittances, bill payments, and everyday money tasks, automatically
MUMBAI, India and SAN FRANCISCO, April 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Abound, the financial super-app for Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) backed by The Times of India Group, today announced the launch of its AI Financial Autopilot. Built in partnership with NEAR AI, this new product uses an AI agent to handle cross-border money tasks on behalf of users, without them having to lift a finger. The launch marks a big shift: from apps that give advice, to systems that take action.
The AI Financial Autopilot runs on NEAR AI’s agent technology and IronClaw, its secure execution system. It is designed for the 32 million Indians living abroad, who together send home more than $125 billion every year while also juggling bills, investments, and family responsibilities across two countries.
Managing money across borders is harder than it sounds. Sending money at the right exchange rate means watching the market at odd hours. Paying EMIs, school fees, or utility bills in India from abroad takes coordination and follow-up. Tracking savings accounts and investments in multiple countries is exhausting. Even basic banking is a problem — NRIs often have to stay up late at night just to speak with a bank relationship manager in India, given the time difference.
Abound’s AI Financial Autopilot handles all of this in the background. Users set their preferences once, and the AI agent takes care of the rest
“We’ve spoken to countless NRIs who stay up until 3 AM watching exchange rates, or who miss an EMI because they were traveling. With the AI Financial Autopilot, that stress disappears. You set your preferences once, and the system handles the rest, quietly and reliably. Your financial life just runs in the background.”— Nishkaam Mehta, CEO, Abound
