The leading Indian online payment service ‘Paytm’ is all set to merge its payment wallet with its newly formed payments banking service. Paytm which is a current trending topic around the country due to the historic ‘demonetization’ by the government of India and its digitalization aspirations is taking all measures to be the leading payment service in India.
One97, the parent company of Paytm owned by Mr. Vijay Shekhar Sharma already received the initial approval for payment bank from RBI[Reserve bank of India] and is confident of rolling it out in near future.
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.

“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.”
