Paytm Payments bank limited will begin its banking operations from May 23, 2017. As per the Central bank’s guidelines, the company will transfer its wallet business to the newly incorporated payments bank entity under a payments bank licence awarded to Founder and CEO Vijay Shekhar Sharma.  

Customers using the payment wallet will see it move to the Paytm Payments bank in the same capacity and have the option of discontinuing their wallet services with due communication sent to the company by May 23. 

If you are a Paytm user and worried about the change, here’s what you need to know:
