Key platforms: eSewa (~70% market share, largest merchant network), Khalti+IME Pay merged Jul 2025 (4M+ users combined, now #2). Fonepay leading QR-based interbank payments. 13% VAT on digital transactions introduced 2024 (10% refund on hospitality). 12+ digital wallets operating. However: rural/mountain gaps remain, no interoperability between wallets, cash still dominant overall. NRB exploring CBDC Digital Rupee pilot for 2026.
