First inland e-shopping

F1Soft International Private Limited launched eSewa, the first inland e-shopping and payment service, here today.

The service -eSewa.com.np -- will provide easy access to Nepalis for paying utilities' bills, shopping for mobile recharge cards and household items.

The eSewa service is free for users and payment can be made from bank accounts through eSewa recharge cards.
Laxmi Bank Ltd is working as sole banker for the service, but F1Soft is planning to bring other banks too in the network.
"At least one more bank will enter the network in a week," said Biswas Dhakal, chief executive officer.

F1Soft International, established in 2003, is the company which launched internet banking in Nepal. eSewa has performed well in the past.

In the test period of the last two months, around 1,200 people used the service and 60,000 transactions worth Rs 5.5 million took place.
