Analyst Opinion

Nepal, a country known for its rich cultural heritage and stunning landscapes, is also experiencing interesting developments in its Traditional Retail Banking market.

Customer preferences: In Nepal, customers still value face-to-face interactions and personalized services when it comes to banking. The human touch in banking relationships remains crucial for many Nepalese customers, leading to a preference for traditional brick-and-mortar bank branches over digital banking channels.

Trends in the market: One notable trend in the Traditional Retail Banking market in Nepal is the gradual shift towards digitization. While traditional banking methods are still predominant, there is a growing interest in digital banking services among the younger population and urban areas. This trend is driven by the increasing penetration of smartphones and the internet, making digital banking more accessible to a wider audience.

Local special circumstances: Nepal's topographical diversity poses a unique challenge for the Traditional Retail Banking sector. The difficult terrain and scattered population make it challenging to establish physical bank branches in remote areas. As a result, many Nepalese rely on alternative banking channels such as agent banking and mobile banking services to access financial services conveniently.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: The political stability and economic growth in Nepal play a significant role in shaping the Traditional Retail Banking market. As the country continues to stabilize its political environment and experience steady economic growth, there is a growing demand for banking services to support the expanding economy. This presents opportunities for traditional banks to innovate and expand their reach to untapped markets while also catering to the evolving needs of the population.
