Box No.73 Baluwatar, Kathmandu, Nepal Telephone: 00-977-14417497 Facsimile: 00-977-14412306 E-mail: [email protected] Bank Supervision Report, 2015 i Message from the Executive Director Dear Valued Readers, Nepalese financial system saw a rapid growth after the liberalisation policies adopted by the nation since 1980. This growth was not only in the number of entities, but also in terms of the varieties of products and services and adoption of the newer technologies. This growth even crossed the national boundaries and integrated with the global financial system. Additionally, increasing flow of remittances from formal channels, cards and banking services with worldwide usability, representative offices across the national boundaries are few more indicators of growing banking industry. The rapid growth that we saw in last decade slowed down in recent five years and a gradual process of consolidation has started. Mergers and acquisitions are being encouraged by NRB to foster the consolidation process. In the recent years we have seen significant reduction in the numbers of institutions in the financial system. Safe, sound and self-regulated BFIs, transparent and consumer friendly banking transactions, adoption of international best prudential norms and best supervisory practices, mitigation of the systemic risks, and ultimately achieving the financial stability have always been the aim of NRB as regulator and supervisor. NRB's bank supervision function also aims in ensuring safe and sound banking industry in Nepal. This department has been continuously endeavouring to adopt best practices in the areas of bank supervision. It gives me immense pleasure to share with you, since last year we have started risk based supervision approaches. Our on-site inspection processes are gradually transforming to risk based approach. This methodology is expected to assess the inherent risks in the banks and the risk management practice of the banks enabling us to prepare risk profile of individual banks for the supervisory purpose. This risk profile will help us determine the supervisory regime and focus our resources on risky areas. This is a notable shift in supervisory approach. Furthermore, to diagnose the banking industry further, NRB has started special inspection process with the technical assistance of World Bank and DFID utilizing the expertise of KPMG, Portugal. This special inspection program provides a valuable feedback to customize the regulatory and supervisory landscape for the coming years. As our financial system is being integrated with the international financial market we felt a need of adopting the cross boarder supervision practices. In this ground, we are currently working on having Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with other supervisory authorities abroad which will enable regulators and supervisors to share information and take appropriate decisions. Of course there are challenges in all financial markets. Corporate governance, self-regulations, skill-sets, risk management culture and professionalism in the industry still need to be enhanced. Multiple banking, monitoring of big borrowers, ever-greening, proper classification of risk-assets etc need to be further controlled. We are optimistic that the collective effort of market and regulators will bring these changes. Bank Supervision Report, 2015 ii I am very happy, to make this Annual Report, 2015 available to you. This will give you a complete picture of the performance of the banks, of the fiscal year 2014/15, as well as the initiatives that are being taken by NRB as a supervisor. I thank my friends of Policy Planning and Forward Looking Analysis Unit, for their good effort in bringing this report in this form. Finally, I would like to thank all of the staffs of Bank Supervision Department for their continuous effort in fulfilling their responsibilities effectively.

    The Journal of Nepalese Business Studies Vol. IV No. 1 Dec. 2007 Prospects and Challenges of E-banking in Nepal Amrit Banstola ABSTRACT Financial Institutions are slowly moving from Brick and Mortar (Physical branches) to click and Brick (E-banking). ATM's are the most popular electronic delivery channel for banking services in Nepal. Only few customers are using internet banking facilities. Nepalese financial institutions till date have not faced any kind of electronic fraud or risk. Banks have basic security tools like firewall, lightening/power surge protection. But it is found that the some banks are in lack of having regular back up of website information and E-banking policy. Nepalese banks are using E-banking for their own convenience and for the purpose of retaining exiting customers. The cost analysis of most of the banks in Nepal is seems to be either inadequate or not applied due to their narrow space of business transaction or lack of sufficient tools. No significant correlation was found between use of E-bank- ing and gender, marital status or salary of customer. However, Use of E-banking signification asso- ciation was found with age and education. Keywords: E-banking, Tele-banking, PC Banking, Internet Banking, Mobile Banking Across the globe, but specifically in Nepal, current trend in private banking has been the consumer movement from traditional branch banking to more stand-alone banking. In other words, a move towards using e-delivery channels such as the Internet, telephone and mobile phones. Many banks are beginning to deliver credit and deposit products electroni- cally.

  • Chapter-One: Introduction
    LOAN In finance, a loan is a debt evidenced by a note which specifies, among other things, the principal amount, interest rate, and date of repayment. A loan entails the reallocation of the subject asset(s) for a period of time, between the lender and the borrower. In a loan, the borrower initially receives or borrows an amount of money, called the principal, from the lender, and is obligated to pay back or repay an equal amount of money to the lender at a later time. Typically, the money is paid back in regular installments, or partial repayments; in an annuity, each installment is the same amount. The loan is generally provided at a cost, referred to as interest on the debt, which provides an incentive for the lender to engage in the loan. In a legal loan, each of these obligations and restrictions is enforced by contract, which can also place the borrower under additional restrictions known as loan covenants. Although this article focuses on monetary loans, in practice any material object might be lent. Acting as a provider of loans is one of the principal tasks for financial institutions. For other institutions, issuing of debt contracts such as bonds is a typical source of funding. Types of loans [edit]Secured See also: Loan guarantee A secured loan is a loan in which the borrower pledges some asset (e.g. a car or property) as collateral. A mortgage loan is a very common type of debt instrument, used by many individuals to purchase housing. In this arrangement, the money is used to purchase the property.

  • Digitalization in Banking and Factors That Makes It More Compelling
    DIGITALIZATION IN BANKING AND FACTORS THAT MAKES IT MORE COMPELLING Digitalization in banking does not only mean online banking, internet banking, mobile banking or paperless banking rather it is the application of new technologies to transform the existing banking business model into a new banking business model. A model which will itself produce new customer base, unveil new financial services, ensure faster and seamless services to clients with reduced operational cost, zero error, ease of use and apparently, maximum security. Therefore, it’s not only a new channel; rather it’s a whole new way of transforming existing transaction-based banking into the experience-based banking. So that, banking can be accessed by customers anytime and from anywhere. Now some factors make digitization in banking compelling, which are- Capturing future customer equity, enhancing internal connectivity, ensuring maximum reach with customer engagement, making banking attractive, ensuring effective decision-making, providing banking anywhere, anytime, Establishing internal e-process etc. For the last decade, the rapid advancement in information and communication technology has significantly influenced the banking industry in Nepal. Banks and financial organizations have improved their services as a financial intermediary through adopting various IT solution services. Technology now has become a tool that facilitates bank’s organizational structures, business strategies, customer services and related functions. Nepalese banking industry has come a long way over the last 30 years though still in these days we are unable to do much other than the management of cross-border trade volume increasing. Nepal’s banking industry is confined to large classified loans, small automation, the least possible number of retail banking solutions, low access to Internet banking, concentration of banking limits, or exposure to few groups or families (that too in cash credit) hypothecation of assets, import loans, and term loans.
