India-based financial services provider Axis Bank has launched a mobile payment service for debit cards, dubbed 'Axis Call and Pay on atom'.

To be able to pay using this method, Axis Bank customers are required to link their mobile phone number to their debit card. They are enabled to do this operation from any Axis Bank ATM.

The technology for the Axis Call and Pay Service has been developed by atom technologies, a digital, retail initiative of the Financial Technologies Group.

Axis Bank began operations in 1994, after the Government of India allowed private banks to be established. The bank provides both retail and corporate banking services.
