Payment services provider PayNearby is collaborating with IndusInd Bank to expand its product BuyNearby. The company believes the strategic partnership will help it in simplifying order, payment and delivery of essential items amid the lockdown. IndusInd BankBuyNearby has already equipped 2 lakh kirana across the country with online services. The platform also assists grocery stores, pharmacies, sweet stores, supermarkets, milk & dairy products, branded specialty stores, gift shops, and meat shops and others in offering a wide range of products to the customers. Besides, it provides the convenience of using UPI, BHIM Aadhaar and other digital payments options with the help of IndusInd bank. The app offers a wide range of products with simple 24×7 access to daily essentials permitting customers to pre-order and pre-schedule deliveries even while the shops are shut down and pay digitally, either at the time of delivery or in advance, in a bid to adhere to the social distancing norms as well as support the vision of going local. Besides, it has a tracking system and also an option to discover substitutes in times of a specific product not being available. Anand Kumar Bajaj, MD & CEO, PayNearby said BuyNearby aims to empower local kirana stores, by blending easy to use digital technology with last-mile connectivity.
