Sanima Bank Announces Relocation of Koteshwor Branch
16th November 2025, Kathmandu
Sanima Bank Limited has officially announced the relocation of its Koteshwor branch, a strategic move aimed at enhancing customer accessibility and improving the overall banking experience in one of Kathmandu’s critical commercial zones.
Sanima Bank Branch Relocation
The existing branch, situated in Kathmandu Metropolitan City Ward 32, Koteshwor, has been shifted 120 meters west to a modern, new building.
The bank’s decision to move its physical location reflects the dynamic nature of commercial centers in Kathmandu, particularly in Koteshwor. Koteshwor itself is a major tri-junction, serving as a vital gateway connecting Kathmandu, Lalitpur, and Bhaktapur, making it a bustling hub for commerce, education, and transport. Banks frequently relocate within such high-traffic areas to secure better visibility, improved parking facilities, or larger premises to accommodate growing customer flow and service requirements.
Key Details of the Relocation
The relocation process has been carefully planned to minimize disruption to the bank’s valued customers. The official commencement of operations at the new address is scheduled for today, November 16, 2025.
New Branch Address and Contact Information
The relocated branch now operates from the following location, offering customers a renewed banking environment:

For immediate assistance or specific queries regarding the relocation and account operations, customers are advised to contact the branch manager, Anjana Adhikari, directly at 9845239632. This direct line ensures that customers receive personalized support during the transition period.
Temporary Disruption of ATM Service
In line with the physical requirements of shifting operations and equipment, Sanima Bank has issued a specific notice regarding its ATM services. The bank’s ATM service at the current branch location had temporarily closed on November 15, 2025. This brief service disruption is necessary to facilitate the smooth and secure relocation of the ATM unit and its associated infrastructure to the new building.
The bank has issued an apology for any inconvenience caused to its customers during this necessary transition, a standard practice aimed at maintaining goodwill and transparent communication. Customers planning to perform ATM transactions on that specific day are encouraged to utilize one of Sanima Bank’s many other ATM locations throughout the Kathmandu Valley or rely on the bank’s robust Sanima Sajilo eBanking (mobile and web banking) platform for digital transactions like fund transfers and utility payments, which are not impacted by the physical move.
The Strategic Importance of Koteshwor
The strategic importance of the Koteshwor area to commercial banks cannot be overstated. Koteshwor is a major transportation hub, linking the Araniko Highway to the Ring Road. This high connectivity brings a concentration of businesses, educational institutions, and residential areas. Banks need to be highly visible and easily accessible in such locations to service a vast and diverse clientele, including local businesses requiring trade finance, residents needing retail banking services, and students managing educational expenses. The bank’s decision to move to a location only 120 meters away suggests it is keen on maintaining its presence in the highly commercial Ward 32 while likely securing a facility that offers better long-term operational advantages.
Sanima Bank’s commitment to providing a broad spectrum of financial solutions is reinforced by maintaining a strong physical presence in key locations like Koteshwor, which complements its extensive digital services. The bank, which is perceived as a reliable and consistent pillar in the Nepalese banking industry, continues to focus on customer service through continuous improvement, of which branch relocation is a significant part.
