PayNearby, India’s leading Hyperlocal FinTech Network which empowers retailers across the country to offer digital financial/non-financial services through local retailers to millions of citizens has partnered with Be-Bound, the French mobile network optimization company, to make digital financial transactions possible in more places in rural India using Be-Bound’s patented Augmented Connectivity technology.
This partnership will facilitate enhanced connectivity to PayNearby retailers, who are facing challenges due to the unstable data connectivity while serving customers with digital financial services in low network areas. With Augmented Connectivity, PayNearby retailer app will work even in the absence of data coverage. Augmented Connectivity enables Android apps to work on any network, even without internet. Data is compressed so that apps can work even on the SMS network, so anywhere a text can be sent, apps have full functionality. With this collaboration, PayNearby retailers will now be able to serve the end customers in a more simple, efficient and connected manner.
After signing the MOU, Mr. Anand Kumar Bajaj, Founder & CEO – PayNearby said “We are intensifying our efforts to extend financial inclusion to every citizen everywhere. Our key objective is aligned with the Government’s agenda and through this partnership, we’re happy to have one less challenge to handle. The Har Dukaan Digital Pradhan movement will become a reality through this connectivity solution offered by our Global Partner Be-Bound. Using PayNearby, shops essentially become local banks, offering a wide range of digital financial services to the people. With the wider reach that Be-Bound technology can offer us, we will now steadily enhance the availability of our services to a larger population.”
