Osta app for iPhone and iPad

Buy Now, Pay Tomorrow. Safest, Fastest and most secured platform.

Osta is a Card-less, Wallet-less, POS-less and Swipe-less payment platform. Osta is a single use payment number. Osta platform generates unique digital number on customer request by marking a hold equal to the amount requested. This digital number or QR code can be used by the customer at registered merchants or aggregators or partner ATMs. Buy Now, Pay Tomorrow is for customers whose Banks are listed on the platform. It is not for debit card, credit card, wallet and other payment options.
Osta uses secured payment technology and empowers customers to decide the value and validity of the Osta number. Osta uses lien (hold) marking instead of transfer of funds to wallets or direct debit to account .
