New e-payment app, CellPay in town

E-Payment is a convenient way of payment, but it can be a hassle for many instead. First you need to link the wallet like eSewa or Khalti to the bank, than transfer the fund to the wallet, than you are ready to pay electronically.

Now a new app named CellPay has been launched here in Nepal which allows the fund transfer and payments directly from the bank account you have connected, meaning no wallet app is required. This reduces the hassle of transfering the fund to the wallet before payment.

CellPay owned by IMS Group, is a digital payment platform, which is 100% owned by Nepalese and have already got the license of the payment service provider (PSP) from Nepal Rastra Bank.
