Global IME 19th Anniversary Employee Recognition

7th January 2026, Kathmandu

Global IME Bank Limited recently celebrated its 19th anniversary, marking nearly two decades of leadership in the Nepalese banking sector. The milestone was commemorated with a dual focus: honoring the dedicated human capital that has driven the bank’s growth and launching an extensive Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) campaign across the country.

Global IME 19th Anniversary

A central highlight of the anniversary was a special employee recognition ceremony in Kathmandu, where the bank honored 175 employees for their 15 years of continuous service. This event underscored the institution’s core belief that long-term loyalty and professional dedication are the primary pillars of organizational success.

The Anniversary Ceremony and Leadership Vision

The recognition program was conducted under the chief guestship of Mr. Chandra Prasad Dhakal, Chairman of Global IME Bank and President of the Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FNCCI). During the ceremony, Chairman Dhakal emphasized that the bank’s rapid ascent to becoming a leading financial institution—despite being the 19th commercial bank established in Nepal—is a testament to the collective hard work of its staff.

He reiterated that the bank’s strategic path forward involves a blend of aggressive business expansion, high-quality mergers, and a deep commitment to digital transformation. The honored employees were presented with traditional scarves and certificates of appreciation by the bank’s board members and senior management, including CEO Surendra Raj Regmi and Deputy CEO Suman Pokhrel. The leadership team reaffirmed their goal of making Global IME Bank more technology-driven and service-oriented to meet the evolving needs of modern customers.

Launching 19 Impactful CSR Programs for the 19th Year

To make the 19th anniversary truly special, Global IME Bank announced the launch of 19 distinct CSR programs targeting education, health, environmental protection, and financial literacy.
