E-Sewa, licensed as a payment service provider, currently facilitates digital payment transactions excluding card services. The company has already fulfilled the stipulated paid-up capital requirement within the three-year period mandated by the NRB.
The company has made a strategy to increase its services by adding capital. The company is ready to do other payment transactions involving cards for which the company aims to maintain a paid-up capital of Rs 250 million before mid-July 2028.
Along with the capital increase, the company will proceed with the necessary process of issuing the IPO to the general public.
