Reuters: Indian digital payments firm Paytm launched a niche payments bank on Tuesday, aiming to acquire 500 million customers in the next three years, the company said in a statement.
Paytm, which runs India’s biggest electronic wallet, said it will offer an interest rate of 4% per annum on deposits.
The Paytm Payments Bank aims to open 31 branches and 3,000 customer service points in its first year of operations, the company said.
A payments bank is an institution that can take deposits and remittances but cannot lend.
