In another collaboration, Ntc and RBB have already agreed to create a new company for the mobile money business. As known, the new entity partially owned by both entities is waiting for the license from Nepal Rastra Bank. Once it gets the license to operate a digital payment service, it is known to start the “Mobile money” service.
Mobile money service allows you to transfer money from your mobile account which is quite different from the current modality of having a wallet account or the direct money transfer from the bank. With mobile money, you can do the payment for all sorts of activities using your own mobile.
Having a different modality in the payment service can revolutionize the way we do payment here in Nepal. This is indeed a one step ahead to prepare a cashless society here in Nepal.
