India, 19th May - Paytm (One97 Communications Limited), India’s leading payments and financial services distribution company and the pioneer of mobile payments, QR codes, and Soundbox, has introduced a new privacy-focused addition to its payment experience ‘Hide Payment’. This new capability allows individuals to privately hide and unhide selected transactions from their payment history, offering greater control over how their records are displayed while keeping all transactions securely accessible whenever needed.
Key Highlights:
Enhances privacy by allowing selected payments to be discreetly hidden from view with a simple swipe.
Introduced based on customer feedback, it helps manage payment visibility with the flexibility to hide and unhide payments as needed.
Designed in response to customer feedback, this addition addresses the need for greater discretion in managing everyday payments. Whether it’s a surprise gift, a late-night food order, a pharmacy visit, or a personal purchase from a local shop, 'Hide Payment' helps keep such transactions private or simply out of view. This helps keep surprises under wraps, and personal expenses private, and lets a sweet indulgence stay unnoticed while on a diet — offering greater control over payment history without compromising accessibility.
Paytm spokesperson said, “Our focus has always been on understanding what our customers need, and that continues to guide our mobile payment innovations. With ‘Hide Payment’, we’re enabling individuals to hide and unhide transactions while maintaining privacy. It’s a thoughtful addition that brings more control and comfort to everyday payments.”
