According to Paytm, Wipro will be implementing the core banking solution for Paytm and also programme managing the integration of other key systems like the anti-money laundering solution and the regulatory reporting solution.

“Wipro will play a crucial role in helping Paytm interface its existing systems with the core banking solution.

This part of the series of tie-ups, the firm has planned in run-up to its launch of its much-awaited payments banks.
