Mahalaxmi Bikas Bank Limited (MLBL) has entered into a strategic partnership with two popular coffee brands, Arabica Coffee and Caffeophilia, Bhaisepati, with the aim of expanding customer benefits and enhancing service offerings. As part of the bank’s ongoing commitment to providing new and convenient facilities, the collaboration aligns with MLBL’s broader strategy to work closely with health institutions, restaurants, and other commercial establishments to deliver value-added services to its customers.
The agreement specifically targets coffee enthusiasts, offering them financial convenience and lifestyle benefits through attractive discounts at various outlets. According to the bank, the partnership is expected to strengthen customer engagement and promote digital banking services by encouraging the use of debit cards, credit cards, and mobile banking platforms.
Exclusive Discounts at Multiple Arabica Coffee Franchises
Under the agreement, customers using Mahalaxmi Bikas Bank’s debit card, credit card, or mobile banking services can now enjoy exclusive discounts at multiple Arabica Coffee franchise locations across the Valley. These outlets include Durbar Marg, Boudha, Baneshwor, Radhe Radhe Bhaktapur, UN Park Lalitpur, Manbhawan, Kalimati, Budhanilkantha, and Bhaisepati.
Arabica Coffee will be offering varying levels of discounts depending on the food category. Customers can avail up to 10% discount on coffee and hot beverages, while Italian cuisine items will carry a discount of up to 15%. The bank believes this initiative will not only delight regular customers but also encourage more people to experience premium coffee culture at discounted prices.
Through this partnership, MLBL aims to promote cashless payments, increase the use of banking cards, and highlight the convenience of digital banking services. The bank expects that such lifestyle-oriented collaborations will significantly enhance customer satisfaction and create long-term engagement.
Caffeophilia Bhaisepati Offers Additional Benefits for MLBL Customers
In addition to Arabica Coffee, the bank has also collaborated with Caffeophilia, Bhaisepati, a rapidly growing food and beverage brand known for its ambience and quality offerings. Under this arrangement, MLBL customers using debit cards, credit cards, or mobile banking can enjoy up to 10% discount on all services except bakery items.
The inclusion of Caffeophilia in the discount network expands the bank’s footprint within the hospitality sector and gives customers more choices when dining or meeting socially. The bank stated that this type of partnership directly benefits customers by providing savings and convenience while promoting digital transactions at partner outlets.
Mahalaxmi Bikas Bank expressed confidence that such initiatives will help strengthen the digital payment ecosystem by encouraging cashless and card-based transactions. The bank aims to continuously explore new areas where collaborations can help enhance the lifestyle experience of its customers.
New Credit Card Facility for Travel Packages Introduced
Recently, the bank also launched an attractive new option for its credit card holders, allowing them to purchase tour packages through various travel agencies using MLBL credit cards. With this plan, customers can convert the value of the purchased tour package into an easy monthly installment (EMI) scheme.
Under the program, the total cost of the tour package can be paid in flexible monthly installments ranging from 6 months to 12 months, making travel more accessible and budget-friendly for customers. This initiative is part of MLBL’s broader effort to provide convenient and customer-friendly financial solutions that enhance lifestyle affordability and promote domestic as well as international tourism.
The bank believes that offering travel EMI options will encourage more customers to explore various holiday packages without worrying about immediate financial burden. It complements the bank’s earlier efforts to make digital transactions more rewarding and accessible.
Bank Reinforces Commitment to Customer Benefits and Innovation
Mahalaxmi Bikas Bank stated that these collaborations with popular coffee brands and the introduction of flexible credit card payment options reflect the bank’s dedication to delivering innovative, customer-centric services. By partnering with leading hospitality brands and travel companies, MLBL aims to be at the forefront of lifestyle banking in Nepal.
The bank reiterated that it will continue expanding its network of partner merchants and service providers so that customers can enjoy a wider range of benefits while embracing digital financial services with greater ease and confidence.
