Kathmandu. KATHMANDU: NMB Bank Ltd. in collaboration with Nepal Clearing House Ltd. (NCHL) has launched a card-based online payment gateway to simplify and secure digital transactions across the country. This new service will be of great help to both physical and online e-commerce businesses.

With this portal, merchants can receive payments from customers through Visa and MasterCard issued by any bank, domestic or foreign. This facility will help businesses expand their business as they can accept payments from within Nepal and abroad.

The payment gateway incorporates 3D Secure technology, which requires an OPD or password to authenticate the transaction, making the transaction extra secure. In this way, card transactions are much more secure and significantly reduce the risk of unauthorized purchases. The bank believes that this commitment to safety will ensure that both consumers and businesses can do business online with great confidence.

According to the bank, this partnership will be instrumental in promoting e-commerce and advancing the digitalization of financial transactions in Nepal. By making card payments easier and safer for everyone, this partnership aims to take the country a step closer towards a digital economy. Online merchants willing to provide this safe payment option to their customers can contact NMB Bank to link it to their portal.
