Rationale
Paytm Payments Bank offers a savings account with a virtual and physical VISA debit card, which aligns with the 'Prepaid Debit Card' feature. They also emphasize 'Safety & Security' and 'Trust and Security' which covers 'Fraud Monitoring & Security'. The website explicitly mentions 'Withdraw cash from any ATM' which matches 'ATM Access & Fee Reimbursement'. However, the core 'Instant P2P Transfers' is not explicitly detailed as a direct bank feature, but rather through their 'Wallet' which is a separate product. There is no mention of stock or bitcoin trading, or early direct deposit. The recent RBI directive also indicates limitations on new deposits and credit transactions, which impacts the core functionality of a mobile-first financial services platform.
