The Startup Nepali Banks Are Quietly Paying | OnePoint |

"Most of the wallets and PSOs in Nepal run on our platform, and nobody knows about us."   In this episode, we sit down with the founders of One Point, the "invisible backbone" of the fintech industry. While you might use eSewa, Khalti, or Fonepay every day, you probably didn't know that the middleware making those transactions possible is often powered by One Point.   From the high stakes "last minute" launch of Nepal Payment Solution (NPS) to implementing world first banking technology in countries like Jordan, Myanmar, and Cambodia.
