  • What is it?

    Payment bank

    Payment bank
  • A payment bank differs from regular banks as it is allowed to undertake only restricted banking functions.

    These functions include payments and remittance services, internet banking, selling of insurance/mutual funds and functioning as business correspondent of other banks.

    A payment bank can accept deposits only upto Rs.1 lakh and won't be allowed to issue credit cards.
