ALLEGIANCE NIDHI LIMITED

Our office is in Barhalganj, right on College Road. We’re in the building owned by Shivbachan Maurya's son, which is directly across from the State Bank of India. It’s a good landmark because everyone knows where the bank is. We started ALLEGIANCE NIDHI LIMITED to give people another option in this part of Gorakhpur. The big banks can be a bit intimidating with their long lines and staff who don't always have time to talk. Here, it’s different. We know most of the people who come in. We talk about the weather or the local news before we even get to the money stuff. It’s a very local way of doing things. The office has a few chairs for people to wait in, but usually, there isn't a long wait. We handle savings and small loans for our members. We aren't trying to be the biggest company in Uttar Pradesh. We just want to do right by the people in our neighborhood. The stairs up to the office can be a bit steep, but once you’re inside, it’s a friendly place. We use simple notebooks and a computer to keep track of everything. It’s honest work. We don't promise anything we can't do. Most of our members live within walking distance, so we see them at the market too. That keeps us accountable. We’re just part of the community here in Barhalganj, doing our bit every day.
