India’s richest man Mukesh Ambani has forayed into the banking business with a payments bank.

Jio’s telecom rival Bharti Airtel was the first to launch a payments bank in November 2016. Since then, Vijay Shekhar Sharma-led Paytm, Aditya Birla Group, and ICICI Bank-backed FINO have all started payment banking operations. The Department of Posts, which also received licence for a payments bank, is yet to start its services fully and is running pilot branches.
