Thus, the new exchange protocol has made the exchange of currency easier with the use of cards.</p> <p>The new provision was made by the Nepal Rastra Bank after amending the integrated circular 2074 keeping in mind the convenience of the travelers. The circular has made it mandatory for any bank or financial institution to inform the central bank about the transaction of foreign exchange.</p> <p>After analyzing the foreign currency exchange policy, the central bank directed BFIs for POS provision, informed Rajendra Pandit, deputy spokesperson at Nepal Rastra Bank. Money exchangers had also been demanding for such provision, he added.</p> <p>Previously, travelers were amazed and worried to know about lack of POS technology in Nepal. Many were troubled by the absence of such technology but now after the implementation of the provision they are expected to spend more in Nepal.</p> <p>Foreigners can now exchange Nepali currency using any of Visa International, MasterCard and Union Pay international card from POS machines. Money exchangers are allowed to mark their exchange charges but the rates should be in Nepali currency. The charges will be marked according to the agreement between banks and money exchangers as per the amended circular issued by the central bank.</p> <p>According to Foreign Exchange Management Department, money exchangers are required to mandatorily collect a copy of the customers’ passport in case of foreigners whereas a copy of relief card will make Indians eligible for the transaction.</p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-03-21', 'modified' => '2018-03-21', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '7553', 'image' => null, 'article_date' => '2018-03-21 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '16' ) ), (int) 13 => array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '7771', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'First Session of Behind the Scene begins', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'March 21: The first session of Behind the Scene, a monthly series which focuses on inspirational talks, was held in the capital on March 17.', 'content' => '<p>March 21: The first session of Behind the Scene, a monthly series which focuses on inspirational talks, was held in the capital on March 17.

Cloud Link and Security Enterprises, the authorised distributor of ESET in Nepal, introduced NOD32 Antivirus, ESET Internet Security, ESET Multi Device Security and ESET Smart Security Premium amid a function held in the capital on March 21. Issuing a press statement, the company said the enhanced consumer portfolio of ESET offers high level of protection. “ESET products provide the ultimate security. The software are easier and faster to install and operate. The cloud-based scanning uses low memory providing users to use their system at ease and at full speed,” reads the statement. According to statement, the products have low impact on system resources and are renowned for high performance with best mix of detection, speed and usability. </p> <p>“With ransom ware, malware attacks and cyber-threats becoming increasingly sophisticated and harmful, it is vital that consumers take appropriate steps to protect themselves with the highest levels of internet security,” says the company. Built using three decades of progress in IT security, the flagship products provide protection beyond the dimension of the operating system, according to the statement. “The new layer of security is active before Microsoft Windows starts running and seeks any threat planted in the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI), very often misused by cyber criminals to compromise various components of the operating system in order to gain access to a victim’s data,” informs the company. The company says that new line of security software fully embraces the internet of things (IOT) trend as it is ideal for connected households with a new feature that keeps all smart devices that connect to a home network safe at one place.</p> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-03-21', 'modified' => '2018-04-02', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '7555', 'image' => '20180321052510_DSC_0143.jpg', 'article_date' => '2018-03-21 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '16' ) ), (int) 12 => array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '7772', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'Foreign Currency can be Exchanged from POS Machines', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'March 21: Foreign tourists in Nepal can now exchange Nepali currency from POS (Point of Sales) machines using their international cards.
