Thamel Remit Pvt. Ltd., a Nepal Rastra Bank-licensed remit company has recently become a member of Nepal Clearing House Limted (NCHL) and has started integrating its National Payment Switch (NPS) as the domestic rail for instant remittances.
This membership enables remittance senders from the USA to directly send money to Nepal in just a few seconds.
Excited about the integration of National Payment Switch in Thamel Remit, Bal K. Joshi, Co-founder of Thamel Remit shares,
This integration makes Thamel Remit the first digital money transfer company enabling instant settlement in non-card based, bank-to-bank transactions from the USA to Nepal corridor. Usually, instant payment services are available via expensive debit and credit card networks.”
This is an important step toward digital remittance because it is the first time of its kind that the National Automated Clearing House Association (NACHA) of the USA has been indirectly integrated with Nepal Payment Interface (NPI) via a remittance provider (Thamel Remit).
The NCHL-IPS and Retail Payment Switch’s underlying technologies handle the processing of all of these transactions (connectIPS). For direct bank account-based remittance, it also has access to a large network of over 59 BFIs.
NPI is a consolidated interface for interconnection that is part of the National Payment Switch (NPS) and is run by NCHL. It has access to both real-time (RPS/connectIPS) and non-real-time batch (NCHL-IPS) payment systems. It includes 73 non-bank institutions in addition to over 59 BFIs. Currently, 13 remittance businesses are using the domestic rail of NCHL’s payment systems for local disbursements through their own settlement banks.
