Fonepay, Nepal’s leading digital payment network, has announced the Fonepay Student Ambassador Programme 2025, a nationwide platform designed to empower university students to lead in digital literacy, fintech innovation, and community impact.

The “Time to Teach Back” initiative is a unique aspect of the programme, which encourages student ambassadors to actively engage with older family and community members, sharing their knowledge of digital finance tools and helping bridge the generational digital divide. This year, the programme saw an incredible response with over 170 teams applying from across Nepal.

After a competitive selection process, 75 teams—150 students—have been shortlisted to represent their colleges and provinces in this unique journey toward leadership and digital transformation. The eight-week program will challenge students to promote digital finance, create engaging content, and build leadership and communication skills.

Acting as official Fonepay Ambassadors, they will design and implement awareness campaigns in their colleges and communities, gaining real-world experience and creating lasting social impact.

 "We believe in the power of youth to create lasting change. With the Student Ambassador Program, we plan to equip students with tools to thrive in a digital world and encourage them to give back, especially to the older generation who may need help navigating digital finance. It’s about creating leaders who uplift others," said Salina Nakarmi, Head of Marketing at Fonepay.
