The partnership is designed to deliver secure, efficient, and affordable international remittance services to Nepalese residents receiving funds from North America and Europe, strengthening financial access for the diaspora and supporting Nepal’s economy.
The collaboration enables LemFi, operating under RightCard Payment Services Limited, to offer low-cost, reliable, and fully compliant international payment solutions. Through this partnership, customers in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Europe can now transfer money seamlessly to Nepal using Esewa’s established digital network. Beyond Nepal, the service provides a global remittance solution, facilitating transfers across Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Europe, and ensuring broad reach for international customers.
“Nepal represents one of the most significant remittance corridors in South Asia, and we are honoured that our partnership with Esewa has received the Central Bank’s approval,” said Muhammad Daiyaan Alam, Head of South Asia Expansion & Growth at LemFi. “This collaboration reinforces our commitment to delivering accessible, fair, and innovative financial services to our customers and their families.”
Remittances are a critical pillar of Nepal’s economy, accounting for a significant portion of household incomes and contributing substantially to national development. The partnership is expected to enhance trust, transparency, and convenience in cross-border money transfers, while ensuring that funds are transmitted securely and efficiently. Customers will benefit from competitive exchange rates, lower transaction costs, and adherence to Nepal Rastra Bank’s stringent regulatory standards, creating a seamless experience for senders and recipients alike.
With a global user base exceeding 2 million, LemFi has established itself as a leader in innovative financial technology and customer-centric solutions.

The partnership also underscores LemFi’s focus on regulatory compliance and consumer protection. By working with a licensed and trusted local partner, the fintech firm ensures that all transactions are transparent, secure, and fully aligned with local financial regulations, giving customers confidence in the integrity of the service.
Industry analysts note that such strategic collaborations represent a broader trend in the global financial sector, where fintech companies are increasingly leveraging digital platforms and cross-border partnerships to simplify remittances, reduce costs, and enhance financial inclusion. For Nepal, where remittances constitute a vital source of income for millions of households, this development is expected to streamline the transfer process, lower financial barriers, and increase access to digital financial tools.
Looking ahead, LemFi plans to expand its services further across South Asia, aiming to become a leading provider of secure, efficient, and affordable cross-border financial solutions. The company’s strategic initiatives are designed to empower the global diaspora, provide faster and more reliable money transfers, and strengthen financial connectivity between countries.
The collaboration between LemFi and Esewa marks a significant milestone in the evolution of digital remittances, demonstrating how technology, partnerships, and regulatory compliance can converge to enhance global financial services. As cross-border transactions continue to grow in scale and complexity, initiatives like this are expected to reshape the remittance landscape and provide tangible benefits for customers and economies alike.
