It was reported that Vijay Shekhar Sharma invested a whopping amount of Rs 112-crore for his majority stake in the payment bank. Thus Paytm is hinting at a split in its e-commerce and payments sectors.
According to Paytm about Current Wallet Users:
“This is just a transfer of ownership of wallet to a new company called Paytm Payments Bank Ltd. Once we launch the bank, you will be given an option to open a separate bank account with us.”
“Your money is absolutely safe in the Paytm Wallet. It is always yours and you will never lose it. If you have any balance in your current Paytm Wallet, it will reflect in your new Paytm Payments Bank Wallet.”
Further, in the public notice, Paytm also gave the option to customers to enroll out if they wish to by mailing at [email protected] or logging into paytm.com/care and redeeming balances by a one-time bank transfer by specifying the bank details.
With new expected competition from Airtel in payments banking service Paytm is all set to provide the best service to its customers.
