Diving Deeper: Linking Your Credit Card
Step 2: Access the 'Payment Settings' or 'Saved Cards' Section
Within your profile, you'll need to find the section related to payments. This might be labeled as 'Payment Settings', 'Saved Cards', or something similar. Scroll through the options until you locate it and tap on it.
Step 3: Initiate the Process of Adding a New Card
Once you're in the payment settings, you should see an option to 'Add New Card' or a '+' icon that signifies adding a new payment method. Tap on this option to begin the process of linking your credit card.
QuickTip: Skim the first line of each paragraph.
Entering Your Card Details Carefully
Step 4: Provide Your Credit Card Information
Now, you'll be prompted to enter your credit card details. This typically includes:
- Card Number: Carefully enter the 16-digit number printed on the front of your credit card. Double-check each digit to avoid any errors.
- Expiry Date: Enter the month and year your card expires, usually in MM/YY format.
- CVV/CVC: This is the 3-digit or 4-digit security code usually found on the back of your card.
Step 5: Review and Save Your Card Details
After entering all the required information, take a moment to review everything for accuracy. Once you're sure the details are correct, tap on the 'Save' or 'Add Card' button.
Security Measures and Verification
Step 6: OTP Verification (One-Time Password)
For security purposes, Paytm will likely send a One-Time Password (OTP) to your registered mobile number or email address associated with your bank. You'll need to enter this OTP in the designated field within the Paytm app to verify your card.
Tip: Read aloud to improve understanding.
Step 7: Card Added Successfully!
Once you've entered the correct OTP, your credit card should be successfully added to your Paytm account. You'll likely see a confirmation message on the screen.
Managing Your Saved Cards
Step 8: Viewing and Managing Your Saved Credit Card
You can usually view your saved credit card details (partially masked for security) in the 'Saved Cards' section of your payment settings. Here, you might also have options to:

- Set as Default: Choose your credit card as the default payment method for faster transactions.
- Remove Card: If needed, you can remove your credit card from your Paytm account.

Tip: Read carefully — skimming skips meaning.
- Mobile recharges

- Online shopping
- QR code payments at stores
When you proceed to pay, you'll usually see your saved credit card as an option. Simply select it and complete the transaction. You might be asked to enter your CVV again for certain transactions for added security.
