As of the sources, Paytm is said to bring in both traditional PoS terminals, which work on GPS or landline as well as mobile PoS terminals, which mostly work through a smartphone. Further told " Paytm already has QR payment facilities, but in locations where people prefer card payments, it will deploy card-reading devices. But QR codes will remain the zero cost method for the merchant."
Paytm will be competing directly with HDFC Bank, Axis Bank, ICICI Bank and State Bank of India, which are the major merchant acquirers in the PoS business.
