official icon
In this technological era, the whole world has turned into a small global village. It wouldn’t take a second to reach throughout the world via internet. The rapid developments in information, communication and technology have changed the lifestyle of many individuals. In the context of Nepal, all the districts are connected through various communication medias like telephone, internet etc.
Those districts are not only linked with communication medias but also online payment gateways. Yeah, I’m talking about eSewa. I’m one of the satisfied customers of eSewa among more than 30,00,000 customers.I’m really thankful to eSewa Fonepay Private Limited for bringing a historical change in the payment system of Nepal. eSewa began its journey from 2009 AD. And since 2009 AD, the journey is running smoothly and almost all customers are fully satisfied.


In this blog, today I’m going to explain what I’ve understood by eSewa. “eSewa” is a word derived from two different words i.e; e & Sewa where “e” means electronic and “Sewa” means service (in Nepali language). Simply, we can understand eSewa as electronic service provider. eSewa is Nepal’s first online payment gateway. Now, what’s online payment gateway? Online payment gateway is a service to carry out different payments online safely and securely. Through this blog post, I strongly recommend all Nepalese to use eSewa and simplify the life in this modern age.
eSewa is an online payment gateway based on online and offline platforms. Till today, there are more than … merchants offering their services through eSewa. eSewa has a very user friendly interface for online and offline use. Few years back when eSewa wasn’t introduced in Nepal, it was really miserable time for us to carry out different bill payments. We had to stand in queue for hours to pay a single bill and still we can’t be sure whether the turn will come or not. But using eSewa, we don’t need to worry about it. Standing in queue is like a joke for eSewa users. Different bill payments such as telephone, internet, electricity and drinking water can be paid through eSewa in just a single click. We no longer have to stand in queues to pay bills. Along with consuming time to wait in queues, we do have benefits of using eSewa. eSewa offers 2% cash back in NTC topups, recharge cards and telephone bill payments. Similarly, various offers are available via eSewa from time to time. Online payment through lets customer certain discount depending upon the merchant.
Whenever there are any main events, we often see eTickets available via eSewa. Tickets for major events like CAN Info-Tech are always available through eSewa. eTickets by eSewa are bar code based and is very systematic. Every individual ticket has a unique barcode which reduces the chance of tickets black marketing.
Let me give you a perfect example of how can eSewa be useful for people. Imagine, it's midnight; all shops in your locality are closed. You have to make an emergency phone call and you’re running out of balance in your phone. You don’t have any access to internet or telephones. What would you do ? Probably you don’t have any option. But, eSewa can be the best option for such problems. You can either topup your phone or purchase recharge card through eSewa. Using eSewa is free of cost. You don’t need to pay more than you need.
The systematic listing of transactions carried out through eSewa can be view from eSewa after logging in. All eSewa users are provided with eSewa Reward Point. Now, you might be wondering what’s eSewa Reward Point? eSewa Reward Point is awarded to every eSewa user as they go on using eSewa. The more you use eSewa, the more reward point you receive. The reward points received from eSewa can be redeemed with gifts and offers as per the terms and conditions for reward point mentioned by eSewa. Reward point is non-transferrable.
