NIC Asia Bank has entered into a special agreement with Himalaya Drishya Resort, located in the scenic hills of Dhulikhel, to provide exclusive benefits to its valued customers. As part of this partnership, customers of NIC Asia Bank can now enjoy a 10% discount on food and beverages at the resort when they make payments using the bank’s digital channels.
According to the agreement, the discount offer is valid for customers who make payments using NIC Asia’s debit card, credit card, prepaid card, or the MoBank mobile banking application. This initiative aims to reward loyal customers while also encouraging the use of digital payments in hospitality and tourism services.
Encouraging Cashless Transactions in Tourism Sector
The partnership represents a strategic step toward enhancing the digital payment ecosystem in Nepal. By collaborating with a well-known hospitality destination such as Himalaya Drishya Resort, NIC Asia Bank seeks to contribute to the promotion of cashless transactions, an initiative in line with the country’s ongoing digital transformation goals.
The bank believes that such collaborations will not only benefit customers directly through tangible savings but also strengthen the culture of digital banking, which is becoming increasingly essential in the post-pandemic economy.
“We believe this collaboration will promote the use of digital payment platforms while also supporting the tourism and service sectors through added incentives for customers,” a statement from NIC Asia Bank read.
Resort’s Breathtaking Views and Premium Hospitality Enhance Customer Experience
Nestled in the serene natural surroundings of Dhulikhel, Himalaya Drishya Resort is a popular getaway destination offering panoramic views of the Himalayan ranges, luxury accommodation, and high-quality food and beverage services. The resort has built a reputation for blending modern comforts with the natural beauty of the region, making it a perfect spot for leisure travelers, corporate retreats, and weekend holidays.
NIC Asia Bank customers visiting the resort can enjoy their meals and drinks at a discounted rate while soaking in the peaceful environment and spectacular mountain scenery. Whether it’s a family lunch, a romantic dinner, or a casual hangout with friends, customers can now make the most of their visit with both comfort and savings.
How to Avail the Offer: Simple and Seamless Digital Payments
To avail the 10% discount, customers simply need to pay digitally at the resort using one of the following methods:
- NIC Asia Debit Card
- NIC Asia Credit Card
- NIC Asia Prepaid Card
- MoBank Mobile Banking App
By offering this flexibility, the bank ensures that customers can easily access the discount without any complicated procedures. The goal is to make digital transactions simple, secure, and rewarding.
Aligning with National Goals of Financial Inclusion and Digital Economy
The move comes as Nepal increasingly embraces a digitally driven economy, with a growing emphasis on financial inclusion and digital literacy. Partnerships like this not only make digital services more attractive but also help familiarize customers with secure, fast, and efficient payment solutions.
NIC Asia Bank has consistently been at the forefront of Nepal’s digital banking innovation. With the MoBank app, a wide range of banking services including fund transfers, QR payments, utility bill payments, and mobile top-ups are available at users’ fingertips. The bank’s goal is to empower customers to manage finances digitally, reducing reliance on cash and manual processes.
Strengthening Tourism Through Financial Innovation
The collaboration also supports the hospitality and tourism sector, which was significantly impacted during the COVID-19 pandemic. With international and domestic travel slowly recovering, partnerships like this can boost local tourism by adding incentives for travelers to visit and spend at high-quality destinations.
Himalaya Drishya Resort, with its commitment to customer satisfaction, hygiene, and service excellence, serves as an ideal partner for this kind of promotional initiative. By combining hospitality with financial innovation, both entities aim to enhance visitor experiences and set new standards for service in Nepal’s tourism industry.
Looking Ahead: More Customer-Centric Offers on the Horizon
NIC Asia Bank has hinted that this partnership is part of a broader plan to introduce more customer-centric value-added services in collaboration with various businesses across sectors. The bank aims to continuously expand its network of partner merchants, restaurants, resorts, retailers, and service providers to deliver greater convenience and cost benefits to its customer base.
The bank has reaffirmed its commitment to creating a robust digital ecosystem where customers not only benefit from technology-driven banking solutions but also enjoy lifestyle perks through their financial engagements.
Win-Win for Customers, Businesses, and the Economy
The NIC Asia Bank–Himalaya Drishya Resort partnership marks a progressive step in integrating financial services with real-world lifestyle experiences. As customers become more tech-savvy and value-oriented, such initiatives offer a win-win situation: customers save money, businesses attract more footfall, and the economy moves closer to becoming digitally inclusive. With the rising adoption of digital payments across Nepal, such collaborations will continue to redefine the banking experience, making it more interactive, beneficial, and aligned with modern consumer needs.
