The app will also enable in-store shopping at the Parisian department store, Galeries Lafayette Paris Hausmann.
According to a stock exchange document: “We are proud to announce the launch of the JioFinance app in the French capital, enabling Indian travellers to easily transact digitally at key landmarks in Paris.”
The app aims to provide a comprehensive digital financial experience. The company explained, “JioFinance aims to provide a refined digital experience for all Indians at every step of their financial journey.
