Paytm on Wednesday announced that it has partnered with Uber. With this partnership, Paytm would extend its Postpaid service to Uber riders.

Uber says that with this integration, users will be able to pay for their Uber rides through their Paytm Postpaid accounts, which in turn enable commuters to shift from cash to Postpaid service. This will ensure greater ease to spend now and pay later.

This is not the first time that Paytm has collaborated with Uber. In the past, the two companies have collaborated over providing Uber riders with features that make instant payments from Paytm Wallet, Paytm UPI, and Cards. Paytm says that its Postpaid service integration will further promote digital transactions on Uber's platform and enhance the customer experience.

To avail this feature, registered users can pay through the Paytm app with funds from their activated Postpaid accounts after completion of a trip using Uber. The user can repay later at their convenience by paying his Paytm Postpaid bill which is generated on a monthly basis.

Notably, apart from Uber, Paytm Postpaid services can also avail a range of services from daily purchases of groceries, milk, and other home essentials from neighbourhood Kirana stores to high value shopping at popular retail destinations such as Reliance Fresh, Haldiram, Apollo Pharmacy, Croma and Shoppers Stop among others.

Additionally, Paytm Postpaid can also be used to pay bills on Paytm, shopping on Paytm Mall, and online payments at internet apps such as Uber, Myntra, Lenskart, Gaana, Pepperfry, HungerBox, Patanjali and Spencer's among others.
