Aims. Our objective is the optical and near-infrared spectroscopic characterisation of 2MASS J0249−0557 c, a recently discovered young planetary mass companion to the β Pictoris (~25 Myr) member 2MASS J0249−0557. Methods. Using the Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy Hemisphere Survey and the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) data, we independently identified the companion 2MASS J0249−0557 c. We also obtained low-resolution optical spectroscopy of this object using the Optical System for Imaging and low-intermediate-Resolution Integrated Spectroscopy spectrograph at the Gran Telescopio Canarias, and near-infrared spectroscopy using the Son of Isaac spectrograph on the New Technology Telescope. Results. We classified 2MASS J0249−0557 c with a spectral type of L2.5 ± 0.5 in the optical and L3 ± 1 in the near-infrared. We identified several spectroscopic indicators of youth both in the optical and in the near-infrared that are compatible with the age of the β Pictoris moving group: strong absorption due to oxides, weak alkaline atomic lines, and a triangular shape of the H -band pseudo-continuum. We also detect a strong H α emission, with a pseudo-equivalent width (pEW) of −90 −40 +20 Å, which seems persistent at timescales from several days to a few years. This indicates strong chromospheric activity or disk accretion. Although many M-type brown dwarfs have strong H α emission, this target is one of the very few L-type planetary mass objects in which this strong H α emission has been detected. Lithium absorption at 6708 Å is observed with pEW ≲5 Å. We also computed the binding energy of 2MASS J0249−0557 c and obtained an (absolute) upper limit of U = (−8.8 ± 4.4) × 10 32 J. Conclusions. Similarly to other young brown dwarfs and isolated planetary mass objects, strong H α emission due to accretion or chromospheric activity is also present in young planetary mass companions at ages of some dozen million years. We also found that 2MASS J0249−0557 c is one of the wide substellar companions with the lowest binding energy known to date.
