This partnership is a significant move not only to enhance customer value but also to actively champion the broader adoption of Digital Payments Nepal within the tourism and hospitality sector.
The understanding, finalized recently between the bank and the Nawalpur-based resort, immediately offers NIC Asia Bank customers tangible benefits for choosing digital transactions. This initiative aligns with the national goal of fostering a more robust Cashless Economy.
Incentivizing Digital Transactions
The core of the new agreement is a tiered discount structure designed to encourage customers to use the bank’s digital channels. Customers utilizing services at Amarapuri Resort and making digital payments can receive substantial savings.
Specifically, the offer provides a 15 percent discount on accommodation services. Additionally, a 10 percent discount is available on all food services.
These attractive incentives serve as a strong motivation for consumers to embrace digital payment methods over traditional cash-based transactions.
Leveraging NIC Asia’s Digital Ecosystem
To avail themselves of these special concessions, customers must process their payment through NIC Asia Bank’s official digital ecosystem.
Eligible payment methods include the bank’s Debit Card, Credit Card, or Prepaid Card. Crucially, payment through the bank’s popular mobile banking application, MoBank, also qualifies for the discounts.
The seamless payment experience offered by the MoBank app, coupled with the security and convenience of card usage, makes digital transactions at the resort simple and hassle-free.
This approach ensures that customers not only benefit from the discount but also become more accustomed to using secure, modern financial technology.
Driving the Cashless Economy
This collaboration extends beyond mere customer benefits; it represents a dedicated effort to accelerate the development of the Cashless Economy in Nepal.
By integrating digital payment facilities at a major regional tourism destination like Amarapuri Resort, the bank effectively expands the digital payment acceptance network.
Such partnerships are vital in migrating consumer behavior away from cash dependency.
They prove that digital payments are not just for urban areas but are equally viable and beneficial in the growing hospitality and Tourism industry across the country. The bank is confident that providing a financial incentive for digital use will positively influence payment habits.
Expanding Digital Footprint in Tourism
The Nawalpur region, where Amarapuri Resort is located, is a key area for domestic and regional Tourism. Establishing strong digital payment infrastructure here is pivotal for national economic growth.
The bank’s commitment to forging alliances with businesses like the Amarapuri Resort ensures that the digital convenience is available where people travel and spend.
The continuous expansion of the merchant network that accepts digital payments is crucial for the success of Digital Payments Nepal.
NIC Asia Bank remains at the forefront of these efforts, working systematically to onboard diverse businesses, thereby supporting the private sector’s role in building a digitally empowered future.
This partnership with Amarapuri Resort serves as a model for how financial institutions can actively partner with the hospitality sector to drive digital transformation.
