Global IME Bank Limited has launched a new digital service in partnership with the Nagarik App, allowing eligible citizens to open a personal savings account directly through the government application.
Global IME Nagarik App Partnership
This integration links Nepal digital identity system with commercial banking, marking a major step forward for financial technology in the country.
How The Nagarik App Account Opening Works
The registration process is designed to be streamlined and efficient for users:
Eligibility Requirements
The service is available to citizens aged eighteen and older who possess a valid National Identity Card and an active Nagarik App profile.
QR Scanning Process
Applicants can scan the designated QR code on the official bank website using the Nagarik App or access the direct link embedded inside the application interface.
Secure Information Transfer
With explicit user consent, Global IME Bank retrieves personal details directly from the Nagarik App database. This removes the need for manual data entry while upholding strict data privacy standards.
