Khalti-Stripe let Nepali freelancers receive payment directly on app

Nepali freelancers can now receive their payment directly on their Khalti account via Stripe. The facility has been provided by Khalti by IME thanks to its partnership agreement with Stripe, a prominent global financial platform. This lets Nepali content creators, freelancers, ad agencies, etc. get payment right on the Khalti app in Nepali currency.

With Stripe integrated on Khalti, users won’t need to bother with SWIFT or rely on foreign-based third parties, middlemen, or even relatives to settle the payment. For many content creators and freelancers, receiving payment from international clients has been hard due to the lack of an easy payment method. Stripe counters that effectively. Within a few taps, the client can credit your fee into your Khalti account.

The condition? The client or the person/business that is paying you shall use Google Pay, Apple Pay, Visa, Mastercard, or an international bank account to send money via Stripe to Khalti. Looking at the condition, it very much looks like the international payment has become just too easy for Nepali users.

Although cross-border Nepal-India payment is available, it hasn’t yet been practical for Nepalese who need to receive money from their international clients from many different countries. Khalti-Stripe partnership comes to the rescue with a secure payment system.
