Paytm Canada will debit the money only after the bill is paid, the company said in a blog.
Mintquoted a Paytm spokesperson, as saying: “Canada has all the right ingredients — a mature, smartphone-ready population, an environment that greatly promotes innovation in the fintech space and we felt that the bill payments experience can be greatly improved.”
Paytm plans to expand its services by adding a full lineup of new use-cases, the blog added.
Earlier this month, Mint had reported that three of Paytm's investors — Reliance Capital, SVB (Saama Capital) and SAP Ventures — sold their combined stake of about 4.3 percent to Alibaba Group and its payments arm Ant Financial, which valued the company around $5.7-5.9 billion.
And chief Sharma has already set his next goal: 500 million Paytm wallets by 2020.
