eSewa money transfer and PayRu, an Australian remittance company, have landed a remittance payment agreement. This agreement is targeted at making remittance easy for Nepali residing in Australia.
This tie-up will be a digital one, as users can make transactions from their smartphones or computers for a minimum charge. The transactions will occur in real time. With this, Nepalis in Australia can easily remit the desired amount directly to their bank accounts or eSewa mobile wallet. On the other end of the rope, the money remitted via PayRu can be cashed out at any one of the 8000+ eSewa agents across Nepal.
