The payment service provider mentions that on the occasion of the 17th anniversary, eSewa has introduced user-centric solutions such as talkback facility targeting blind and visually impaired users, Intent Based Payment to make payments easier and faster, and eSewa Circle Chat.
eSewa has made the payment process faster and simpler by introducing the Intent-Based Payment facility. Intent based payment is a fast, secure and hassle-free payment system based on the user’s desire to pay. In this system, the payment starts from where the user needs to pay. After clicking on ‘Pay with eSewa’ on the merchant app or website, the eSewa app opens directly or the payment is accepted through device level authentication (fingerprint or face ID), eliminating the hassle of MPIN, password or OTP. It reduces the problem of process stoppage during payment and provides users with a secure, convenient and transaction experience within seconds.
