Locals are happy after the banks closed during the decade-long civil war of the country were re-established in their village once again.</p> <p>Hima Bhusal, a local, said they had to go to Waling in Syangja district or to the district headquarters of Parbat to receive remittance because of the unavailability of banks and financial institutions in their own locality.</p> <p>After the establishment of banks in their areas, they do not have to go to market places to receive money sent from abroad, she said. Her husband is in foreign employment. Earlier, she had to travel to Waling for hours to receive the money sent by her husband.</p> <p>Locals of six wards of Paiyu Rural Municipality had been at the receiving end because of the unavailability of banks in their areas. “To receive an amount of Rs 20,000, we had to spend Rs 8,000 to Rs 10,000 while travelling to and from Kusma,” she told New Business Age, adding, “Now that the banks have opened in our area, it has become easier for us.”</p> <p>It is hard for people who have children and who work at home to travel long distance. It has become easier for home makers now.</p> <p>Banks operating in the area have been providing services like business loan, payment of project money and salary of government officials. Huwas is known as the third largest business hub of Parbat. Local traders say it has become easier for them after the banks have started giving out loans to business entrepreneurs. </p> <p>“We can now get loan for business and also save our money in banks,” said Humnath Kafle, a local business entrepreneur.</p> <p>According to Subash Thapa, manager of Gandaki Bank’s, Huwas branch, 10 to 30 people come for remittance on a daily basis. He said people who used to suffer because of unavailability of banking services are happy after getting the service in their areas.</p> <p>Khagendra Prasad Tiwari, chairman of Paiyu Rural Municipality said that the Consumers’ Committee does not have to go to the district headquarters for payment of small projects anymore.</p> <p>“Though there is a rule that states that there should be a bank in every rural municipality, we have three banks in our rural municipality. It has become much more convenient for us now,” he said.</p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2017-10-23', 'modified' => '2017-10-23', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '6532', 'image' => null, 'article_date' => '2017-10-23 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '16' ) ), (int) 6 => array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '6748', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'Machhapuchhre Bank to Distribute 15 Percent Dividend', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'October 23: A meeting of the board of directors of Machhapuchhre Bank recently decided to distribute 15 percent of dividends from the profit made in last fiscal year to its shareholders.
