The festive season in Nepal brings joy, family reunions, and the tradition of Dakshina (blessings, often in the form of a monetary gift).
NIC Asia Digital Dakshina Safely
With the rise of digital wallets and instant bank transfers, this cherished custom has quickly shifted to Digital Dakshina. While digital transfers are convenient, they carry a risk: the possibility of a mistake sending your gift or your financial blessing to the wrong person.
NIC ASIA Bank highlights this crucial need for caution, urging customers to prioritize security when sending funds digitally.
The Core Message: Double-Check Everything
The central theme of the awareness campaign is simple and vital: Always confirm the recipient’s name and number twice before tapping the ‘send’ button, whether you are using a Digital Wallet or a Bank Transfer.
A digital transaction is instantaneous and, once completed, it can be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to reverse. A fleeting moment of distraction can result in a loss of funds and, more importantly, a misplaced blessing.
Why Double-Checking is Your Best Security
In the realm of digital transactions, your vigilance is your strongest defense (#CyberSuraksha). Here’s why double-checking is non-negotiable:
| Checkpoint | Why It Matters |
| Recipient’s Name | Verifies that the number you entered actually belongs to the intended person. If the name is incorrect, stop the transaction immediately. |
| Mobile Number/Account Number | These are the unique identifiers. Even a single-digit error will send your money to a different account. |
| Amount | Ensures you are sending the intended sum, preventing accidental over-transfer during the haste of festivities. |
| “Dakshina” Details | For digital wallets, confirm the linked name matches your recipient’s known name. |
