Summary

Paytm is the leading alternative payment solution in India. Owned by One97 Communications, Paytm initially began its operations as an e-commerce marketplace in India in 2010. Four years later, the company launched the Paytm Wallet, which can now be used for both online and in-store payments. Funds can be loaded onto the wallet via online banking, debit cards, and credit cards.

The wallet, initially used only on Paytm’s own online marketplace for e-commerce and bill payments, is now widely accepted at a number of other online merchant websites/apps. Paytm dominates the Indian mobile wallet market and accounted for a 6% share of the country’s total e-commerce transaction value in 2018, according to GlobalData’s 2018 Consumer Payments Insight Survey. In addition to online payments, Paytm is used for day-to-day offline transactions and is accepted across all merchant types, ranging from local grocery stores and street vendors to large retail brands such as Big Bazaar, Pantaloons, and Lifestyle.

In addition to payments for purchases, the wallet can be used for peer-to-peer (P2P) money transfers. In November 2017, Paytm integrated the BHIM Unified Payments Interface (UPI) into its platform, enabling users to send and receive money between two bank accounts directly from their mobile phones. In January 2017, Paytm received approval from the central bank to launch as a payments bank, offering commercial banking services such as saving accounts, debit cards, and online banking.
