e-Acquiring and e-Payment Gateway

With the Internet, businesses have set up shop online to move their products or services to cater to the largest market in the world-The online market. Customers in the online market purchase from online shops and make real time online payments using their Debit or Credit Cards.

Bank of Bhutan Limited through the introduction of International Debit and Credit Cards in 2012 made the buying of goods and services online possible. However, in the absence of ePayment Gateway provider in country, Bhutanese Merchants (Business establishment, Airline Companies, Tour agents, Handicraft shops, Hoteliers, etc…) were unable to sell their products and services online- until now.

Bank of Bhutan ltd. has now introduced an e-Payment Gateway, which will facilitate Bhutanese Merchants Registered with BoBL e-Payment Gateway to sell their product and services Online.

With this, Bhutanese businesses can sell their products and accept payments online. Products such as airline tickets, hotel rooms, tour packages, etc can be sold to international and local Visa/MasterCard holders online. Utility bill payments/tax/revenue collection can also be processed online via the Internet Payment Gateway on registration of concerned offices.
