In an endeavor to provide banking facilities to large and well spread out sections of the society, the bank has strived to establish branches at all regions of the country. In this attempt, the bank has opened its 25th branch at Narayangarh on 28th April 2008. Dy Governer, Nepal Rastra Bank, Mr. Bir Bikram Raymajhi inaugurated the branch at a function attended by Mr. Mitra Raj Dawadi, President Narayangarh Chamber of Commerce and Industries and Mr. Mahendra Lal Pradhan, a renowned business personality.

The branch would be providing a complete range of services and has launched a scheme for a period of 3 months.

The bank has 11 ATM counters and has expansion plans to many more locations.

Further EBL Debit cards need not be renewed every year which is a unique facility provided by the bank.

Everest Bank is the first and the only bank in Nepal to open a representative office in India. The representative office facilitates the opening of the account of Nepalese from the identified branches of Punjab National Bank, India to any of the branches of Everest Bank Limited in Nepal and also facilitate in remitting the funds instantly with a very nominal charge.

It is a well-known fact that large numbers of people from the area and adjoining districts have been moving abroad and remitting their earnings to the hometown. Thus with EBL’s more than 150 payout location, people can easily remit money to their home town through Everest Remit.

This sustained growth of the Bank is attributable to its quality service to its customers, products meeting the customer’s requirement and a strong team.
