Kathmandu, June 19 – In a groundbreaking move for Nepal’s digital finance sector, Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) has officially approved the nation’s first-ever digital wallet merger between IME Pay and Khalti. The two prominent wallet services will now operate under the unified banner of “IME Khalti Limited”, with the familiar Khalti app leading the unified platform.
