Global IME Bank Launches Citizen App-Based Digital Account Opening Service

Global IME Bank Limited has launched a new digital account opening service in collaboration with the Citizen App, allowing eligible Nepali citizens to open a personal savings account online using their National Identity Card.

Under the new facility, users registered on the Citizen App can scan the QR code available on the bank's website through the app and complete the account opening process without manually entering their personal details. The bank will securely retrieve the required customer information from the Citizen App only after obtaining the user's consent, ensuring data privacy and reducing paperwork.

The service is available to Nepali citizens aged 18 years and above who possess a National Identity Card and are enrolled in the Citizen App. To activate the account, customers must complete verification either by visiting the nearest Global IME Bank branch or through Video KYC.

Global IME Bank currently operates a nationwide network of 342 branches, 368 ATMs, 147 branchless banking outlets, 69 extension and revenue collection counters, and three overseas representative offices, providing services through more than 1,000 service points across all 77 districts of Nepal.
