The market

Mobile payment use is high and Papara has built genuine consumer scale, particularly among younger users. Bank transfer via Havale and EFT remains the backbone for larger values, and Troy provides a domestic card scheme.

What we would tell you

Papara plus Havale/EFT covers most of the market. Around three in ten adults remain unbanked, so wallet reach is what expands your base.
