    Paytm and RBL Bank band together to supercharge merchant payments

    MUMBAI: Cash? So last decade. Paytm has joined forces with RBL Bank to make digital payments even smoother, smarter, and—dare we say—unavoidable. With this powerhouse partnership, RBL Bank’s merchant network will now have access to Paytm’s pioneering soundbox and advanced card machines, making transactions faster, easier, and, most importantly, 100 per cent cashless.

    Paytm’s soundbox has already revolutionised in-store payments by offering instant audio confirmations for every transaction. But the innovation doesn’t stop there. The NFC Card Soundbox takes it a step further, allowing tap and pay transactions using debit and credit cards—yes, even for international tourists. Say goodbye to the days of customers fumbling for exact change.

    The Paytm Card Machines (EDC devices) give merchants even more flexibility by accepting UPI, Rupay credit card on UPI, UPI lite, debit cards, credit cards, and even EMI options from leading banks. And in case you were wondering, the soundbox supports 11 languages because, let’s face it, digital payments should be accessible in every tongue.

    Merchants using Paytm’s technology get access to the Paytm for Business Dashboard, a game-changer that allows them to track transactions in real-time and enjoy instant settlements. More transparency. More control. Less waiting around.

    “Our goal is to simplify payments for merchants by providing cutting-edge solutions that enhance efficiency and trust. Partnering with RBL Bank allows us to expand the reach of our pioneering Soundbox and card machines, ensuring businesses of all sizes can accept digital payments with ease. With instant settlements, EMI options, and diverse payment methods, we continue to innovate and support businesses in their digital growth journey,” said Paytm CBO – offline payments Ripunjai Gaur.

This partnership aligns with our vision of enabling seamless, secure, and efficient transactions. With innovative offerings like Tap and Pay-enabled NFC Card Soundbox and feature-rich Paytm Card Machines, we are committed to supporting businesses in their digital transformation journey,” said RBL Bank president & head – branch banking & retail liabilities Narendra Agrawal.

    This isn’t just a partnership—it’s a digital revolution for businesses looking to ditch cash and embrace the future of payments. With secure, seamless, and instant payment solutions, merchants across the country can streamline transactions and scale their businesses with confidence.

    So, is cash finally dead? Not yet. But with Paytm and RBL Bank leading the charge, it might just become an endangered species.
