TLDR;
- The service allows Nepalis in Australia to send money to Nepal without any fees or commission for the first three transactions.
- The service is fast, secure, and convenient, and is integrated within the Hamro Patro app
- The company plans to expand its remittance service to other countries, such as Japan, in the near future.
Hamro Patro, the widely used calendar app and one of the most downloaded apps from Nepal, has expanded its remittance services to Australia. The company, which had previously launched its remittance services in the USA, has now made these services available for the Nepali community in Australia.
Australia, which has a large Nepali population living and working there, is often humorously referred to as the 8th province of Nepal.
The company’s Fintech Director, Sudina Gautam, announced the news today in a press release.
We are delighted to welcome our customers in Australia, and we are offering them the first three transactions for free. This initiative enables Nepalis in Australia to send money to Nepal without paying any fees or commission for the first three transactions through our platform.

This is a great benefit for the Nepali community in Australia, who can now access fast, secure, and convenient remittance services through the Hamro Patro app. The app, which is already a household name in Nepal for its calendar and other features, has incorporated the remittance service within its interface, making it simple for users to access and use.
This launch is a significant milestone for Hamro Patro in making remittance transfers easy, quick, and safe for the Nepali diaspora in Australia. The service, which is fully digital and cashless, is integrated within the Hamro Patro app, ensuring ease of use and convenience.
Gautam also highlighted the company’s focus on transparent and user-friendly digital transactions. “We are excited to extend our service to Australia, furthering our commitment to simplifying global remittance services while reducing costs. We are thankful for the trust and support from our customers, which have been instrumental in our growth and expansion,” she added.
The remittance service feature is easily accessible within the Hamro Patro app. To use the remittance service, users need to register, upload a photo, and complete the required documentation for KYC verification. The service is available for use as soon as the account is verified.
Moreover, the company has plans to expand its remittance services to other countries gradually. The company is preparing to launch its services in Japan by the upcoming new year, continuing its path of expansion and innovation in the remittance sector.
