Muktinath Bank’s History

• January 03, 2007

On this day, Muktinath Bikas Bank became a licensed “Three district development Bank” from Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) running operations within Syangja, Kaski, and Tanahun districts, part of Gandaki Province. The vision to establish a local private sector became possible through a group of local visionaries at Putalibazar, Syangjya, Nepal led by founding Chairman Late Khagendra Raj Regmi and Founding Chief Executive Officer Mr. Bharat Raj Dhakal. Originally, in the first year of establishment, the Bank has:

In 2012, the Bank transitioned to the "Ten District Development Bank". Since 2015, The Bank has been holding the esteemed license of a "National Level Development Bank".

• Muktinath Through the Years

From this modest start, the Bank focused on setting up branches in rural areas and expanding its presence in unbanked areas, also tailoring products to fit rural, marginalized communities and highly productive individuals & entrepreneurs. Through the decades, we continued to grow through innovation and responsive member care and service. In 2016, Bank shifted its central office to Kathmandu, Nepal. In 2018, Bank emerged as No.1 Development Bank of Nepal. Muktinath Bikas Bank became the first development Bank to hit the NPR 1 billion plus profit mark in 2021. Bank have been awarded with prestigious national and international awards notably European Microfinance Award 2020 (More info can be found in: Awards & Recognitions  )

Our success is due, in part, to our strong focus on micro and rural financing, along with providing value-added services and supporting funding initiatives of social significance.
