Walmart-owned PhonePe is looking to sign a commercial pact with Zestmoney in lieu of an $18 million loan it had handed out to the cash-strapped company, The Economic Times reported, citing people aware of the development. 

The development comes barely a month after PhonePe called off the acquisition of buy-now-pay-later startup Zestmoney following months of due diligence.  

ZestMoney is also learnt to be in discussions to raise equity capital from some existing investors. However, those talks are preliminary, the report said.
