Paytm Introduces Personalized UPI IDs to Enhance Payment Privacy and Prevent Mobile Number Exposure

Paytm (One97 Communications Limited), India’s leading payments and financial services distribution company and the pioneer of mobile payments, QR codes, and Soundbox, has introduced personalized UPI IDs, enhancing privacy and offering a more flexible way to make mobile payments. This advancement reflects the company’s commitment to simplifying and securing everyday digital payments.

The new offering allows the selection of personalized UPI IDs such as name@ptyes or name@ptaxis, enabling individuals to send and receive money without revealing their mobile numbers. It is currently live on handles issued by Yes Bank and Axis Bank and will be extended to other banking partners shortly.

Whether you’re paying a shopkeeper, settling up with a delivery executive, or transferring money to a new vendor, Paytm remains India’s most trusted and secure way to pay. With personalized UPI IDs, Paytm now offers even greater privacy. When a user sends or receives money using their personalized UPI ID, their mobile number stays hidden from the transaction details. This protects personal information while still allowing individuals to create a unique and easily recognizable payment identity. It’s a seamless experience, built for trust, security, and everyday convenience.
