Banks

Nepal's "A" class commercial banks, cross-referenced across multiple sources since individual lists disagreed on details after 2023's wave of bank mergers. Where a merger happened, the resulting bank is listed once with a note — not as two separate active banks. Founding years are shown only where confirmed; official websites aren't included in this pass yet.
