WHAT WE CAN EXPECT FROM PAYMENT BANKS ?

Payments banks   are expected to  depend upon mobile and ATM infrastructure to provide transactional banking services. Opening an account is expected to be like acquiring a pre-paid mobile number.   With the  intense competition  the new banks would generate may  reduce  charges for remittances, fund transfers and other banking transactions. Customers who do not have the means to maintain minimum balance will   also   can maintain accounts with Payment banks  as revenues of payment Banks are earned through transaction charges .   

As per  RBI licence , new payment banks are to be set up within 18 months .   But it is  generally believed that many such licencees may establish their banks  much earlier than the stipulated time frame.
