Paytm Europe Payments has obtained a payment institution license from Luxembourg’s financial regulator.

Approval allows the subsidiary of Indian fintech One 97 Communications to offer credit transfers and acquire payment transactions in the region, according to a report by Electronic Payments International.

Regulators added Paytm Europe to their official list of payment institutions with effect from 2 July 2026.

Valid indefinitely, this license permits the company to execute fund transfers from payment accounts.

CSSF authorisation also covers transactions backed by user credit lines. It grants the firm permission to act as a payment acquirer across the jurisdiction.

Parent company One 97 Communications stated in a regulatory filing that this approval carries no immediate financial implications.

Regulatory clearance follows a capital injection completed earlier this year.

In May 2026, Paytm Cloud Technologies Limited subscribed to 9 million equity shares in the European unit at €1 each.

Proceeds from that €9 million investment were designed to increase paid up capital to support regional business requirements.

Paytm incorporated its European subsidiary in Luxembourg in January 2026.

Expansion into Europe follows the company securing payment aggregator authorisation from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in December last year for offline and cross border transactions.
