Airtel Payments Bank brings banking services to over 1650 villages in Chhattisgarh

Airtel Payments Bank is expanding its rural footprint in Chhattisgarh. The company claims to take banking services to unbanked villages in remote areas of the state.
“Over 1650 unbanked villages in the state now have access to formal banking services thanks to Airtel Payments Bank. Majority of the residents of these villages had no bank account or had to travel long distances to reach the nearest bank branch,” claimed the company in a statement.
Airtel Payments Bank also offers access to a range of financial services like Aadhaar Enabled Payments, insurance and government pension schemes within the villages itself. The banking services are completely paperless and very simple to access through a mobile phone or the retail touch points, which also act as ATMs.
