The wallet works at online services including MakeMyTrip, BookMyShow, and Myntra. Airtel Payments Bank offers a paperless, zero-balance savings account opened through video KYC. The listed plan charges Rs. 0 for account opening, wallet-to-wallet transfers, utility bills, recharges, and DTH payments. Wallet-to-bank fees range from Rs. 2 to Rs. 100 by amount.
