NIC ASIA Bank has entered into a strategic partnership with Asian Buddha Hotel, located in Siddharthanagar, Rupandehi, to offer exclusive discounts to its valued customers. As per the newly signed agreement, NIC ASIA Bank customers can now enjoy up to 15% discounts on hotel services when making digital payments. This collaboration reflects the bank’s ongoing commitment to enhancing customer experience while promoting digital payment adoption across Nepal’s hospitality sector.
Discounts for Digital Payment Users
Under the agreement, customers who pay for any service at Asian Buddha Hotel using NIC ASIA Bank’s debit, credit, or prepaid cards, or through the bank’s MoBank mobile app, will be eligible for the 15% discount.
This offer applies to all hotel services, allowing guests to enjoy comfortable stays, fine dining, and other amenities at reduced rates, all while supporting Nepal’s transition toward a cashless digital economy. According to the bank, this initiative aims to encourage more customers to embrace secure, efficient, and transparent digital transactions in their everyday lives.
Promoting a Cashless Economy
NIC ASIA Bank stated that the partnership with Asian Buddha Hotel is part of its broader vision to promote financial digitalization and strengthen Nepal’s digital payment ecosystem. By offering attractive discounts, the bank hopes to motivate both customers and businesses to move away from cash-based transactions, thereby contributing to a safer and more sustainable financial environment. The collaboration also aligns with the government’s goal of expanding digital inclusion and ensuring that people across all regions have access to modern banking facilities.
Enhancing Customer Benefits and Tourism
Located in the heart of Siddharthanagar, a key gateway to Lumbini, the birthplace of Lord Buddha, Asian Buddha Hotel serves as a popular stop for both domestic and international travelers. The discount partnership is expected to boost local tourism by making hospitality services more accessible and affordable.
Speaking about the collaboration, a bank representative mentioned that initiatives like these not only reward loyal customers but also support local businesses in adapting to Nepal’s growing digital payment culture. Similarly, the management of Asian Buddha Hotel expressed appreciation for the partnership, highlighting how digital payments have improved operational efficiency and customer convenience.
Strengthening the Digital Future
Over the years, NIC ASIA Bank has launched several strategic partnerships with hotels, resorts, and service providers across Nepal to expand the reach of digital banking. This latest collaboration further cements its position as a leading innovator in the financial sector.
By integrating digital payment systems into hospitality and tourism services, the bank envisions a future where technology simplifies transactions, improves service quality, and contributes to Nepal’s overall economic development.
The NIC ASIA Bank–Asian Buddha Hotel partnership is more than a customer discount initiative, it’s a step forward in reshaping Nepal’s financial culture through technology and collaboration. Customers can now enjoy exclusive savings while participating in the broader effort to build a modern, cashless Nepal. With this initiative, NIC ASIA Bank once again demonstrates its leadership in driving financial innovation, customer satisfaction, and digital transformation.
