Nepal Bank Limited

Inaugurated by Late King Mahendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev on Kartik 30, 1994 BS, Nepal Bank Limited is the first bank of Nepal which marked the beginning of the era of formal banking in Nepal. Before the establishment of this bank, the monetary transactions were all carried out by private dealers and trading center.



To provide the service to the people whether they are rich or poor and to contribute to the nation’s development was and has always been the main objective of the bank. It was established during the time when very few people understood and had confidence in the new concept of formal banking which made raising equity shares and mobilization of deposits difficult which is why the bank that floated equity shares worth Rs 2,500,000 could only raise Rs 842,000.
