MBBL Becomes Fully Operational
Mahalaxmi Bikas Bank Limited has confirmed that all of its 102 branches across Nepal are fully operational, ensuring uninterrupted banking services for customers despite the recent nationwide unrest. In a formal statement, the bank extended its heartfelt condolences to the families of those who lost their lives during the demonstrations and expressed sympathy for the widespread damage to public and private property. The bank’s management acknowledged the challenges faced by the country and expressed hope that the ongoing government formation process will soon usher in a period of peace, good governance, and economic stability.
Swift Response and Crisis Management
Despite the widespread turmoil, Mahalaxmi Bikas Bank has demonstrated strong crisis management and a deep commitment to its customers. The bank reported that its Lakeside Pokhara branch was completely destroyed during the unrest. However, rather than allowing this setback to disrupt services, the bank took immediate action to maintain business continuity for its customers in the area. Customers previously served by the Lakeside branch can now access all of their regular banking facilities through nearby branches in Pokhara and the surrounding regions. This swift response highlights the bank’s resilience and its determination to provide reliable financial services even in the face of significant challenges.
Ensuring Nationwide Operations
Mahalaxmi Bikas Bank has confirmed that, with the exception of the destroyed Lakeside branch, all of its remaining 102 branch offices across Nepal are fully operational. This widespread access ensures that customers in every region can conduct their transactions smoothly and securely. The bank has emphasized that all of its core services are functioning at full capacity, including:
- Cash deposits and withdrawals, which are running smoothly in all branches.
- Loan and credit services, which continue as usual for personal, business, and corporate clients.
- Digital channels, including the bank’s mobile and internet banking platforms, which remain fully secure and operational, providing a convenient alternative for customers who prefer to conduct transactions remotely.
Commitment to Stability and Growth
Mahalaxmi Bikas Bank has reiterated its commitment to supporting Nepal’s financial sector and contributing to the nation’s economic recovery. By ensuring uninterrupted banking services, the bank is helping to maintain confidence in the financial system. It has expressed optimism that the political situation will soon stabilize, creating a more conducive environment for long-term economic progress and private-sector investment. The bank’s quick response and focus on operational stability during a period of social and economic uncertainty reinforce its reputation as a dependable financial partner.
For customers of the former Lakeside Pokhara branch, the bank has provided clear guidance: they are encouraged to visit nearby Mahalaxmi Bikas Bank branches for their banking needs, utilize the secure digital banking platforms for convenience, or contact the bank’s customer support hotline for any assistance. As the country moves toward a political resolution, Mahalaxmi Bikas Bank remains focused on delivering secure, efficient, and accessible financial services to individuals, businesses, and communities throughout Nepal, demonstrating its enduring role in the nation’s financial landscape.
