Central Bank of Nepal Approves LemFi Partnership with Esewa for Enhanced Remittances

We’re thrilled to announce that the Central Bank of Nepal has approved our partnership with Esewa, Nepal’s leading digital payment platform. This milestone lets LemFi users in North America, the UK, and Europe send money home to Nepal easily, affordably, and with full regulatory compliance.

Nepal Rastra Bank, the country’s central bank, has approved our partnership with Esewa, Nepal’s leading digital payment platform, to operate remittance services into Nepal.

The partnership means Nepalese in North America and Europe (including the United Kingdom) can continue sending money low-cost, reliably, and at competitive exchange rates to Nepal and other countries across Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Europe.

Why This Matters

Remittances play a vital role in supporting the Nepalese economy. That’s why this partnership with eSewa, Nepal’s most established digital payment platform, demonstrates our dedication to providing innovative services while complying with the Central Bank of Nepal's regulatory frameworks.

The Significance

By combining LemFi’s global remittance network with eSewa’s local expertise and infrastructure, we’re creating a more seamless experience for senders abroad and their loved ones in Nepal.

“We welcome every opportunity to demonstrate our commitment to providing accessible and fair financial services for our customers as well as their beneficiaries,” said Muhammad Daiyaan Alam, LemFi’s Head of South Asia Expansion & Growth.
