Winning this award is a testament to NIBLs significant contributions made towards Nepal’s financial sector and society in general.

The Chairman of our bank Prithvi Bahadur Pandé and CEO Jyoti Prakash Pandey personally attended the award in London, United Kingdom on December 1st Thursday and received the award on the banks behalf. The bank won this award by meeting the required criteria set by Financial times.

The banks upward growth and performance were as a result of strategic initiatives and technological advancements undertaken which has given the bank a competitive advantage over its competitors. The bank has also offered various products and services to its broad customer base to gain an upper hand in the market.

The bank has consistently focused in providing financial accessibility and inclusion to the underprivileged segments of our society by providing low interest deprived sector lending products thereby improving the standard of living in those areas. NIBL has further provided financial awareness and training programs to people who have not had access to banking services in these areas. The bank has significantly contributed towards CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) by vehemently supporting Nepali culture arts and heritage wherever possible.

NIBL would like to thank the Financial Times for the deserved recognition bestowed upon us as well as the banks shareholders and stakeholders for making this award a possibility.
