🚀 Big News! 🚀 I'm thrilled to announce a distribution partnership with Paytm that makes My Beacon’s India Bill Payment service available directly to Paytm App users in Canada! 🎉 This means that Paytm users in Canada can now look up their Indian bills and pay them using Canadian dollars right within the Paytm app—a seamless, easy experience. Try it out on Paytm and let us know what you think! At Beacon, we aim to simplify financial connections between countries while making our services accessible to users wherever they are. This partnership is another step forward in that journey. Thank you to Vijay Shekhar Sharma and Harinder Takhar for their support in making this happen! 🙌 This announcement comes on the heels of Beacon launching the first-ever Indian Bill Payment service using a foreign currency (CAD)—a significant step towards making cross-border payments smoother for the Indian diaspora. In case you're thinking, we're working on bringing a similar convenience to other countries. Any guesses or requests for which country is next? 🙂 #Beacon #Paytm #IndiaPayments #Fintech #CrossBorderPayments #CanadaToIndia #Immigration #ImmigrationTech
