The signing ceremony was held in the presence of Mr. Ganesh Raj Pokharel, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Citizens Bank International Limited, and Dhruba Adhikari, Director of Khalti.

Speaking about the agreement, Paras Kumar Kafle, Chief Operating Officer of Citizens Bank said,
We are looking forward for technology to solve financial and banking problems of people where people can do everything using their mobile phone. With this tie-up, our customers can make their everyday payments from Khalti. Now, we feel we have headed one step closer to making transactions digital in Nepal.
Similarly, Deputy CEO of the Bank Ganesh Raj Pokharel shared how he is very fond of watching movies and using mobile payment apps for his everyday payments. “I like technological innovation and the way it is simplifying people’s lives.

Meanwhile, Khalti’s Amit Agrawal shared,
We are glad to sign MoU with Citizens Bank. Now, Citizens Bank customers need not withdraw cash to pay for goods and services. They can simply pay via Khalti. The initiative would help consumers go cashless in payments and facilitate hassle-free transactions.
