About This Commitment

Neither PayPal nor Stripe officially available in Nepal as of Mar 2026. Blocked by NRB foreign exchange restrictions, lack of regulatory partnership, and AML/KYC compliance gaps. NRB Deputy Governor confirmed bank sought contact with PayPal but no agreement. Nepal Digital Economy Framework aims to attract international gateways by mid-2026 to early-2027. Workarounds: prepaid USD cards ($500/year limit via Nabil, Global IME, NMB banks), Payoneer, Skrill, Wise. Fonepay exploring international gateway integration.
