Bandhan Bank & Odisha Govt Partnered to facilitate OTDC payment Solutions

Current Context: Bandhan Bank has announced its association with Odisha Government to help them strengthen payment solutions for Odisha Tourism Development Corporation (OTDC) Ltd. The bank has provided Point of Sale (PoS) machines to facilitate card payments by tourists.

Prime locations, including Puri, Bhubaneshwar, Konark, Chilka and Gopalpur, will be covered under this tie-up. The PoS machines will hasten tourist payment collections, bringing convenience to both the tourists and OTDC officials.
The bank is planning to launch UPI services soon. The EDC machines will also help prevent revenue loss for OTDC, which may be caused by the lack of cash carried by the tourists. This initiative aligns with the nation’s vision of becoming a cashless economy.
