As per a statement released by the digital payment company, with their subscription business model, the widespread use of devices increases subscription revenues and payment volumes while widening the distribution channel for their business loan disbursement. In addition to its business of loan distribution, the Super App of Paytm continues experiencing increased consumer interest in its wide range of payment options.
Paytm made a statement saying that they are still working to increase user/customer engagement, as evidenced by the average Monthly Transacting Users (MTUs) for the quarter ending in September this year (2022), which was 79.7 million, up 39% Year Over Year (YOY). During the same period, the total merchant Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) processed on their platform amounted to around INR 3.18 Lakh Crore, representing a 63% Year Over Year (YOY) growth rate.
Furthermore, the Noida-based firm even pointed out that the credit losses on its portfolio are currently under the levels that finance partners have underwritten. This may increase the potential for its syndicated lending book’s incentive income.
