Delhi/Chennai: PeLocal, a Chennai-based digital platform has officially announced the launch of its services to aid vendors and customers with payment management.

Pelocal support team also assists merchants in uploading their customer base and provides any support required in transactions which include easy payment transactions requests and reminders.
“Pelocal has been started to address the last mile digital bill payments need gap. The vendor payment landscape unfortunately is still largely dominated by last-mile manual bills and transactions of paper currency. Currently, these bills are mostly paid in cash leading to various inconveniences in payments and tracking of the bills. We plan to eliminate this part of the business and completely digitalize it by providing round-the-clock services and support to replace manual bills. Also, each household has to pay multiple monthly bills in cash or in-person to the vendors, we plan to unify these payments on a single digital platform. In a nutshell, PeLocal is aimed at revolutionizing the way merchants can receive and manage payments for the services provided to consumers while at the same time bridging the gap between merchants and consumers envisioning our idea for being for ‘Vocal for Local.” Said Vivekanand Tripathi, Co-founder, and CEO of PeLocal Fintech, Pvt, Ltd.
