Paytm Europe Receives CSSF Payment Institution Licence
One 97 Communications Limited informed the exchanges that its step-down subsidiary, Paytm Europe Payments S.A., has been granted a Payment Institution Licence by the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF), Luxembourg, the country's financial sector regulator.
The authorisation was received on July 2, 2026, following which Paytm Europe was included in the CSSF's official list of licensed payment institutions. The licence does not have a specified validity period.
Licence Enables EU Payment Services
The licence authorises Paytm Europe to provide multiple payment services under the European Union's Payment Services Directive (PSD) framework.
These include the execution of payment transactions, including credit transfers and standing orders, payment transactions funded through credit lines, and acquiring of payment transactions. As Luxembourg is an EU member state, the licence also enables Paytm Europe to expand payment services across other EU countries through the passporting mechanism, subject to applicable local regulations.
Strengthens European Expansion Strategy
Paytm Europe is a wholly owned subsidiary of Paytm Cloud Technologies Limited, which is itself a wholly owned subsidiary of One 97 Communications Limited.
The Luxembourg entity was incorporated in January 2026, and the regulatory approval marks the next step in the company's expansion into the European payments ecosystem. The licence provides a regulated platform for offering payment services to merchants and customers across the European Union.
