Payments Banks Do Not Have a Viable Business Model: SBI Chief

Small and payments banks have not yet devised a business model which can be termed viable, SBI Chairperson Arundhati Bhattacharya said today. "Neither the payments banks nor small finance banks seem to have as yet devised a business model that can be said as viable," said Bhattacharya, whose bank has tied up with Reliance Industries for a payments bank venture. Addressing a banking seminar organised by industry lobby IMC here, she added, "...a mobile banking customer, who is also a customer for payment services, will be less free to migrate to a competition for mobile services. Hence, it is hard to see payment banks taking away customers or income from commercial banks in a big way. Similar arguments hold for small finance banks. "Admitting that the entry of other non-banking co...

Paytm Scraps Transaction Fee For Offline Merchants, Last year Transaction was $120 million

Paytm, India's leading Mobile wallet and e-commerce firm scrapped 'per transaction fee' for consumer-to-merchant offline wallet transactions, a move to boost digital money transfer on the platform. The fee ranged from 0.5% to 1.75%, depending on the merchant service provider. "Often these charges discourage a merchant to accept a digital transaction and they end up asking the consumer to bear the cost, which is illegal," said Nitin Misra, payment products head at Paytm. "By eliminating this cost, we are looking at an opportunity to digitise that 95% of India which still deals in cash," he added. "We have crossed credit card transactions and today 95 out of 100 wallets are Paytm," said Misra. "In our business, I think we have reached a sweet spot. We have a payment business, we have a m...
