ICICI Bank eazypay is an online payment service.

Your customers can have an account in any bank in India and make payments to you.
Scenario: Peter runs a retail business and delivers goods to some of his customers. In cases where the shipping partner does not provide payment options, customers had to add Peter as a beneficiary, request his bank account details and so on. When one of his customers shared about the bad experience, Peter registers for eazypay using his ICICI Bank account. He now enables payment options in his invoice and allows his customers to make online or offline payments using a payment mode of their choice without any hassle.
