According to a Paytm Payments Bank spokesperson, the company was set a target of 5 billion digital transactions for the full year but it recorded 1.3 billion transactions in the first three months of the year.

The bank has also on-boarded almost 1 million rural merchants in the same period.

Paytm has also displayed one of the highest rates of successful transactions in the month, with just 0.03 per cent of the transactions on UPI being declined, among the best in the industry, as per the report card.

For other banks at the top, the numbers are less than 1 per cent, except for Canara Bank which reported more than 1.4 per cent transaction declines on UPI.

The public-sector entities that have been rated 'good' in the list include Canara Bank and IDBI Bank while HSBC is the only foreign bank to feature in the top seven list.

Paytm also saw the highest rates of successful transactions in the month with just 0.03 per cent of the transactions on UPI being declined, according to the report card.

For other banks, the numbers are less than 1 per cent barring Canara Bank which reported more than 1.4 per cent transaction declines on UPI, the MeiTY report said.
