Nabil Bank has been recognized as Nepal’s Leading Partner Bank by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) under its Trade and Supply Chain Finance Program (TSCFP), highlighting the bank’s role in facilitating trade and supply chain financing in the country.

The recognition was announced at the 12th Annual TSCFP Awards, where Nabil Bank was honored for its partnership with ADB in supporting trade finance and strengthening businesses engaged in regional and international commerce.

Recognition for supporting international trade

Trade and supply chain finance plays an important role in enabling businesses to manage cross-border transactions, imports, exports and working-capital requirements. Banks provide financing and payment solutions that help businesses maintain supply chains and conduct international trade with greater financial certainty.

Nabil Bank said the recognition reflects its continued commitment to advancing trade and supply chain finance in Asia and the Pacific, while strengthening partnerships and supporting businesses and economic growth.

The award also highlights the role of Nepalese banks in connecting domestic businesses with international financial networks and trade-finance institutions.

Award presented at GTR Asia Conference

The TSCFP Awards ceremony was held alongside the Global Trade Review (GTR) Asia Conference, which brought together trade finance professionals, partner banks and other industry stakeholders from across the region.

The conference provided a platform for discussions on international trade, supply chain finance and the evolving financing needs of businesses operating across borders.

For Nabil Bank, the ADB recognition adds to its profile in international trade finance and reflects its engagement with global financial institutions in supporting Nepal’s trade and business ecosystem.
