In a landmark milestone for Nepal's digital financial infrastructure, domestic businesses can now accept international payments directly via Apple Pay and Google Pay through NIC Asia Bank's e-commerce payment gateway. Announced on Ashwin 16, 2083, the bank has integrated these global mobile wallet solutions into its CyberSource Payment Gateway, becoming the first financial institution in the country to offer this capability to its merchant network.
The new facility enables merchants using Visa and Mastercard networks to process tokenized card transactions from Apple Pay and Google Pay users worldwide without requiring physical payment cards. This technological upgrade is poised to transform cross-border transactions for key service and export industries, including hospitality, tour operations, handicrafts, aviation, e-commerce, and information technology.
