Hamro Patro’s in-app digital wallet Hamro Pay digital wallet has launched a wallet-to-wallet money transfer (inter-wallet) feature. The company’s Chief Executive officer (CEO) Shankar Uprety shared the exciting news on his LinkedIn post.
The idea of sending money from one wallet to another has indeed been a long-sought one. However, it is by far more intriguing that newcomers such as Hamro Pay are launching this service ahead of the industry leaders such as eSewa and Khalti which makes it a milestone in Nepal’s mobile wallet landscape.
Before Hamro Pay, Moru Digital Wallet launched the inter-wallet fund transfer service in Nepal.

And what’s more, Hamro Pay has made the function very accessible and beneficial. Uprety shared that users can send money from the Hamro Pay wallet to up to over 20 digital wallets.
Uprety announced, “We are very proud to be one of the first wallets to bring interoperability among digital wallets. Now Hamro Pay users can send money to more than 20 wallets.”
Hamro Pay users can send money to other digital wallets such as Khalti, IME Pay, Namaste Pay, Sajilo Pay, PrabhuPay, Moru, etc.
As you may have noticed, prominent PSP eSewa is not on the list. Uprety and Hamro Pay haven’t shared any statement regarding the absence of the popular wallet in its inter-wallet transfer service compatibility. However, let’s hope that eSewa will also feature soon on the list.
