This integration connects the ERP system operated by the EPF to Fonepay’s payment rails for B2B, B2G, and B2C corporate payments. Additionally, this arrangement will enable EPF to collect receivables from loanees through Fonepay’s interoperable biller platform.
This strategic collaboration allows EPF members to easily pay their provident fund loans through various digital platforms, including mobile banking apps, internet banking, and Omni Channel websites. The H2H payment integration represents a cutting-edge digital payment infrastructure that facilitates corporate payments, enhancing efficiency and streamlining financial processes.
“This partnership with Employee Provident Fund Nepal marks a significant advancement in our mission to enhance financial accessibility and efficiency for users,” said Diwas Kumar, CEO of Fonepay. “By integrating our digital payment solutions, we’re not just offering convenience to the users – we’re actively contributing to the Digital Nepal vision.
