Bandhan Bank announced its tie up with the 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.
