Kathmandu, Apr. 21
Khalti has introduced a system that enables individuals in Nepal to receive
international payments for services rendered abroad directly into the Khalti by
IME mobile wallet.
The company has launched this service in partnership with IME Limited and
Stripe.
It said in a statement on Tuesday that this strategic partnership is
intended to facilitate cross-border payments by improving accessibility,
enabling real-time settlements, and ensuring secure and reliable international
transactions.
Under this arrangement, users can send a ‘payment request’ directly through
the Khalti application to receive earnings from foreign services. International
companies and payment providers can transfer funds via the Stripe gateway using
multiple payment methods, including ACH, SEPA, Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay,
Google Pay and e-banking.
The transferred amount is credited directly to the user’s Khalti wallet.
According to the company, this system eliminates the need to wait several
weeks to receive payments. It added that the payment infrastructure developed
through the partnership with Stripe complies with regulatory standards and
ensures secure cross-border transactions.
“The partnership between IME Khalti and Stripe is expected to address
long-standing challenges faced by Nepal’s digital workforce in receiving
international payments. It is also expected to reduce barriers in the payment
process and contribute to the expansion of Nepal’s digital economy,” said the
company.
CEO of IME Khalti Limited, Praveen Regmi, said the partnership has opened
opportunities for Nepali entrepreneurs and digital professionals to earn
globally and receive payments promptly. He added that the initiative represents
a milestone in Nepal’s fintech sector and supports integrated cross-border
transactions through domestic digital wallets.
