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...
