In addition, commercial banks and development banks will be able to issue prepaid cards worth $ 500 to customers. Through which social media and other online transactions can be paid in dollars.
For a long time, there were complaints that there were problems with social media and other online payments. Therefore, keeping this in mind, NRB has implemented the new system.
NRB has made arrangements to deposit up to $ 500 in foreign currency on the card at the request of the customer. The card can be used to purchase any goods and services except those prohibited by Nepali law. If the user is selling the service abroad, the money earned from it will have to be arranged in the same card. NRB has clarified that such cards cannot be used to withdraw money from ATMs and use POS machines.
