City Express Enters 20th Year: From Remittance Startup to National Brand
14th July 2026, Kathmandu
What began as an ambitious startup has officially transformed into one of Nepal’s most recognized and trusted corporate conglomerates. City Express has marked a historic milestone, completing 19 years of operations and entering its landmark 20th year in 2026 (2083 B.S.).
City Express Enters 20th Year
Over the past two decades, the company has transitioned from a dedicated remittance service provider into a diversified powerhouse, serving millions of Nepalese customers at home and abroad.
From Remittance Pioneer to Multi-Sector Conglomerate
While City Express built its foundation as a lifeline for cross-border money transfers, significantly boosting Nepal’s digital economy and formalizing remittance channels, its long-term growth strategy has pushed far beyond financial services.
As it enters its 20th year, the Group has successfully expanded its footprint into several high-growth verticals, fueling Nepal’s national development:
Information Technology (IT): Investing in digital transformation and fintech solutions to modernize local platforms.
Banking & Financial Services: Strengthening the country’s economic backbone through strategic capital market contributions.
Hydropower & Energy: Powering national infrastructure by backing crucial renewable energy projects.
Insurance & Travel: Delivering risk management solutions and boosting hospitality infrastructure for local and international travel.
A Legacy Built on Trust and Social Responsibility
The transition of City Express from a small startup to a national brand is a testament to its customer-first approach. Beyond corporate metrics, the company’s two-decade journey is deeply intertwined with Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
Throughout its operations, City Express has consistently supported crucial social causes across Nepal, including community health programs, education initiatives, and disaster relief efforts, cementing its status as a socially conscious brand.
“Reaching the 20-year milestone reflects our resilient long-term growth, strategic diversification, and our unwavering commitment to Nepal’s financial and social sectors. We owe this success to the millions of customers who have trusted us with their hard-earned money and dreams.” City Express Group
What Lies Ahead for City Express?
As City Express steps into its second decade of operation, the focus remains sharply on scaling its diverse portfolio, adopting cutting-edge technologies, and creating robust employment opportunities for the Nepalese youth. What started nineteen years ago as a humble financial venture is now actively shaping the future of Nepal’s digital and economic ecosystem.
