February 7, 2021 | Investopaper
Nepal Investment Bank Ltd. (NIBL) conducted an event at its head office premises in honor of the Nepalese team that successfully summited K2. A team of 10 Nepalese climbers led by Nirmal Purja set a new world record by becoming the first to reach the summit of K2, the world’s second-highest mountain, in winter. With their ‘impossible’ summit of the world’s second-tallest mountain, the ten Nepali climbers send national pride surging in the Himalayas.
Located in Pakistan and nicknamed “the savage mountain”, K2 is considered as the most demanding mountain to conquer and until now thought to be impossible, in winter. Our Nepali climbers achieved that feat on the 16th of January 2021 at 17:00 local time (12:00 GMT).
In line with CSR strategy, the bank’s Chairman Mr. Prithvi Bahadur Pandé alongside members of the board and senior managers held a felicitation program in honor of the ten Nepali climbers and presented them with a cheque of NPR 10,00,000/- (Ten Lakhs). The bank thanked the team for making Nepal proud and hoped that the contribution will act as a motivation for further fantastic conquests.
NIBL has been catering to its customer from 83 branches, 128 ATMs, 20 extension counters, 10 revenue collection counters, and 59 branchless banking counters. The bank, being the recipient of five Bank of the Year awards for exemplary service and business, was accredited with Euromoney awards for “Best Bank 2018” from the international publication – Euromoney. Further, ICRA Nepal (International Credit Rating Agency- Nepal) has given the bank a credit rating of A.
