Fonepay Payment Service Ltd., Nepal’s Largest Payment Network, and NPCI International Payments Ltd (NIPL), the international arm of the National Payments Corporation of India, are prepared to launch a cross-border QR payment service between Nepal and India. This was revealed at the Global Fintech Fest 2023, an event that brings together fintech visionaries, thought leaders, and innovators.

The cooperation will empower millions of citizens from both sides of the border. The service allows instant mobile payment securely and conveniently through QR code scans at stores. FonePay says that such payments are performed at the stores through mobile applications certified by both FonePay and NPCI.

When will it launch?

FonePay and NIPL had this to say

Upon announcing the preparedness for the launch of Indo-Nepal cross-border digital payment service, the Chairman of FonePay and President of F1Soft Group, Mr. Biswas Dhakal shared his delight.

He also believes that this will contribute to the development of trade, tourism, and economic relations.

Dhakal said, “This remarkable launch marks a significant step towards enhancing financial connectivity between Nepal and India by leveraging technology for the benefit of our citizens. I am confident that this initiative will significantly contribute to the growth of trade, tourism, and economic relations between both countries, ultimately fostering prosperity and development.”

Likewise, NIPL stressed its contribution to greater financial inclusion and economic contribution. The company said, “This initiative signifies our commitment to fintech innovation and strengthening our nations’ bonds. We envision this partnership as a catalyst for greater financial inclusion and economic prosperity and are excited to embark on this journey of transformation together with Fonepay.”

An experienced tech writer covering news mostly on telecommunication, internet, latest tech & trends, and Gadgets. Being a technophile, I am particularly fascinated by the evolution of mobile networks in Nepal from legacy networks (2G, 3G) to 4G (with VoLTE, VoWiFi, eSIM) and the prospects of the upcoming 5G, and equally enthralled by the development of internet from the dial-up connection to the 2 Gbps XGS-PON fiber broadband technology and their transformative impact in the country.
