About Garima

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.
