As part of its ongoing mission of helping India go cashless, Paytm, India’s largest mobile payments and commerce platform, today introduced the ‘Nearby’ feature on its platform. This will enable Paytm customers to get information about their nearest Paytm merchant.
Paytm ‘Nearby’ will carry a directory of 800,000 of offline merchants and partners across India. In the first phase, this list is 200,000+ & will continue to grow everyday. Customers on their Paytm app or web can now browse through a list of shops & locations near them that offer services like accepting adding cash to e-wallet & upgrading accounts by doing KYC. This not only provides convenience to customers but also provides visibility to thousands of small and medium merchants by connecting them to millions of customers.
The new ‘Add Cash’ feature allows customers to find the nearest points such as ICICI & Axis bank branches where they can get cash loaded in their wallet. The ‘Upgrade your Wallet’ option lets customers become a Paytm VIP and earn benefits worth Rs 5000 by doing KYC.
The app today can be used to pay for just about everything in our daily lives be it online or offline. Local taxi/autos, petrol pumps, CNG stations, grocery shops, restaurants, coffee shops, multiplexes, parking, pharmacies, local tea/vegetable vendors, newspaper vendors, all prefer Paytm because of its convenience. Paytm can also be used to pay at thousands of apps & websites for services like recharges and bill payments, movie tickets, travel bookings, food ordering, shopping and much more.
The company is aiming to get a larger market share in O2O categories by reaching every nook and corner of the country. As millions of Indians take to using Paytm to transact offline, the company has set a bolder target to achieve its goal of helping India go cashless. Currently India’s largest payment network, Paytm wants to touch 4 million offline merchants by March 2017. займ круглосуточно москвазайм без визита в офисзайм на счет без отказа
