"The world is going digital. As an umbrella organization of ICT associations, institutions, and individuals working in this sector in Nepal, promoting digital payments is one of the major agendas of CAN Federation."

"In the beginning years of CAN InfoTech, cash payment was the only option. Later, as banks started to become more accessible, we started taking payments through bank deposits. With the emergence of digital payment service providers in Nepal, we have started taking digital payments. It is a gesture from CAN Federation that payments and transactions are going digital in Nepal."

"Khalti is a rapidly growing digital wallet in Nepal. We started taking online payments through Khalti since the last year. This year, we are hopeful that majority of CAN InfoTech exhibitors will make stall booking payments digitally."
