The ability to make digital payments is convenient at its best. While there are many consumer-centric digital payment systems or wallets in Nepal, Nepal Clearing House Ltd. (NCHL) has its own Business Payment Platform – CorporatePAY.
This digital payment solution facilitates transactions for its member banking and financial institutions (BFIs).
Using connect-IPS, businesses can process real-time payments with all the necessary multi-user controls. Moreover, non-real-time bulk payments are also possible through the NCHL-IPS system.
Why should member BFIs use CorporatePAY?
Whenever a digital solution is implemented, the objective is to limit human interaction as much as possible. The case with CorporatePAY is no different!
Using this payment solution, subscribers can avoid visiting banks or financial institutions with cash or cheque.
Instead of handling physical cheques at a bank, subscribers will be able to wire cheques electronically through highly sophisticated channels.
This will improve business efficiency and productivity.
