About Garima

Garima Bikas Bank Limited is a national-level development bank that commenced operations on 18th Kartik 2064 (23 November 2007), originally headquartered in Waling, Syangja before moving its head office to Lazimpat, Kathmandu. The bank was founded by professionals and entrepreneurs from diverse fields and has grown substantially through mergers with Nilgiri Bikas Bank (2072 BS / 2015), Subekshya Bikas Bank (2073 BS / 2016), and the acquisition of Sahara Bikas Bank (2078 BS / 2021), the latter strengthening its presence in Madhesh Province. It provides a full range of banking services including deposits, loans, cards, digital banking, and remittance across Nepal.
