      Making India a Cashless Economy:

      The best thing about Airtel Payments Bank is its ZERO processing fees to encourage cashless transactions. However, if you would like to withdraw money from your Savings Account, you need to shell out ₹5 to ₹25 for a transaction value less than ₹4000. And if it is more than ₹4000, it would be 0.65 percent on total withdrawn amount.

      Starting November 2016, Airtel Payments Bank has become quite successful and is available in more than 200 villages. With a network of over 2,50,000 Airtel retail stores to serve as banking points and one million merchants, Airtel Payments Bank is here to stay and encourage cashless India. In fact, the Bharti Airtel has a target of expanding the service to over 5000 remote villages in India.
