Budget hotels brand OYO Rooms has partnered with HDFC Bank's mobile payment application PayZapp to make the transactions for booking hotels on its platform.

This tie-up will enable customers to directly link their debit and credit card to PayZapp and book an OYO room. With PayZapp, users do not need to preload money each time they transact - and can thereby access a convenient and secure way of payment.

"The app now drives over 60 percent of our bookings. We have received positive customer feedback on the tie-up with PayZapp that will help us reach new customers while enhancing the experience of our existing user-base," OYO Founder and CEO Ritesh Agarwal said.
