Nepal Investment Bank has recently launched “Paisa Pathaune App” where Nepalese staying in India can send the money to their people in Nepal anytime through their phone.
NIBL has partnered with BankonUs, India to initiate this service for Nepalese working/living in India so that they could transfer the funds to their family and others in a safe, secured and convenient way, even in bank holidays.
This arrangement by BankonUs to NIBL has been made in a way that the users can send the money from “Paisa Pathaune App” just like the way they use their digital wallets.
How does Paisa Pathaune App work?
Well, to send money from Paisa Pathaune App from India to Nepal, the Nepalese resident in India should compulsorily have a bank account in any bank of India. And they simply register in the app and send money to their recipients in Nepal. On the other side, the receiving party here in Nepal should have a bank account in any of the banks in Nepal. It is easier for the customers of NIBL itself, since the amount is directly deposited in their bank account.
Others having their bank account in other than NIBL can also get their money received from the clearing service of the banking system. They either transfer funds through remittance or connectIPS directly to the recipient’s account. Interesting fact is that the recipient party does not necessarily have to have an account in any Indian Bank or NIBL.
