  • Payment banks operate slightly different from Commercial banks
    • Deposit amount: You can deposit up to Rs 1 lakh in a payments bank.
      Whereas there is no such limit in a commercial bank.
    • Credit cards and loans: Payments banks are allowed to give debit cards to their customers but do not provide credit cards or loans. They can only do so if they have tied up with a commercial bank.
      Commercial banks do provide loans and credit cards.
    • Minimum balance: Many commercial banks require you to have a minimum balance in your account. Failure to do so may result in a penalty.
      In a payments bank’s case, there is no minimum balance. Customers can open an account without paying any money upfront. These accounts are known as zero-balance accounts.
    • NRI: Commercial banks can accept NRI deposits, whereas payment banks cannot.

  • Airtel Payments Bank, India Post Payments Bank, etc are the example of Payment Bank.
  • The objectives of setting up a payments bank are to further financial inclusion by providing small savings accounts and payments/remittance services to the migrant labor workforce, low-income households, small businesses, other unorganized sector entities, and other users.
