One 97 Communications (OCL), which owns the brand Paytm, India's leading payments and financial services distribution company and pioneer of QR, Soundbox, and mobile payments, is the first to launch 'Receive Money QR Widget' for Android users. With this new innovative feature, users can quickly show the QR code for receiving money from their phone's home screen itself, without having to open the Paytm app first.

This instantly recognizable alert enhances the user experience and reinforces payment transparency. This innovation reflects Paytm's commitment to continuously innovate based on user needs, offering greater convenience and confidence in mobile payments.

Paytm spokesperson said, "We are excited to introduce the 'Receive Money Paytm QR Widget' for Android users, making it easier and faster to collect payments directly from the smartphone home screen.
