FreeCharge, a leading digital payments platform, has tied up with Ezetap, a mobile-based payments service provider.

This partnership would pave the way for millions of FreeCharge users to start using their mobile wallets to make payments at thousands of Ezetap service points consisting of small and mid-sized retailers across India.

With this partnership, FreeCharge customers can now transact at over 40,000 Ezetap Point-of-sale (POS) terminals (offline points), Govind Rajan, Chief Operating Officer, FreeCharge, said.

Enabling wallet payments at retail merchants will enable the wallet consumers to use FreeCharge both online as well as offline points.

"FreeCharge believes partnerships are critical to scale acceptance and build habit of digital payments," Rajan said.

Abhijit Bose, Chief Executive Officer of Ezetap, said that the partnership with FreeCharge would provide a simple and engaging user experience for both merchants and consumers.

"Thousands of Ezetap smartPOS solutions are being activated at merchants every week, and each application is pre-enabled with Universal wallet acceptance. Our merchant can accept, load and take advantage of FreeCharge offers with a simple click," Bose said.
