What is a Payments Bank?
Payments Banks are a special type of bank licensed by the Reserve Bank of India. They can accept deposits up to ₹2 lakh per customer, offer debit cards and mobile banking, facilitate domestic remittances and bill payments — but they cannot offer loans or credit cards. They are designed to extend banking access to unbanked and underbanked populations.
