Global Bank Ltd,
which has already opened its
main office at Birgunj, is
all set to unveil the
Kathmandu branch office
on January 15, aiming to
greatly boost Nepali
people’s access to banking
facilities. There is a need
to inculcate banking habit
in a large segment of people
who have remained beyond the
pale of such facilities,
Suman Neupane, CEO of the
bank said in an exclusive
interview to
The Himalayan
Times. According to a rough
estimate, less than 10 per
cent people undertake
banking transactions out of
a population of about 27
million. Global Bank intends
to reach out to the sections
of the society that have
remained beyond the reach of
banks, creating new markets
and instruments in the
process, says Neupane.
Global Bank, with a view to
reach out to hitherto
unreachable borrowers,
intends to invest in big and
small projects, Neupane
said. At the same time, the
management would focus on
total quality management,
giving equal importance to
providing loans and
monitoring, he said.
