Nepal receives over $9 billion in remittances annually — around 25% of its GDP — making it one of the most remittance-dependent economies in the world. The bulk of transfers originate in Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, India, and the US. eSewa and Khalti mobile wallets offer near-instant delivery, while bank transfer infrastructure has improved rapidly in recent years.
- eSewa and Khalti are Nepal's leading mobile wallets. IME Pay and ConnectIPS also process remittances. Several international providers deliver directly to these wallets within minutes.
- Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) regulates inbound remittances. There is no tax or duty on money received from abroad for personal use.
- NCHL (National Clearing House) ConnectIPS enables real-time interbank transfers — once funds hit any Nepalese bank, they can be moved instantly via ConnectIPS.
- IME (International Money Express) and Prabhu Money Transfer are major Nepalese remittance companies with agent networks in the Middle East and Malaysia.
- Popular banks: Nepal Investment Bank (NIB), Standard Chartered Nepal, Nabil Bank, NIC Asia, and Rastriya Banijya Bank have the most extensive branch networks.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about sending money from to Nepal
What is the cheapest way to send money to Nepal?
Wise and Remitly offer the most competitive rates for USD-to-NPR transfers. For Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, IME and Prabhu Money are popular and often cheaper for smaller amounts. The exchange rate is the biggest cost factor — compare total NPR received across providers rather than stated fees alone.
How do I send money to eSewa or Khalti in Nepal?
Remitly supports direct eSewa wallet delivery from the US and UK. You need the recipient's eSewa registered mobile number or wallet ID. Delivery is typically within minutes. Khalti supports international inbound transfers via IME Pay linkage. The recipient can cash out at agents or spend directly at eSewa merchants.
What bank details are needed for a transfer to Nepal?
You need the recipient's account number and the bank's SWIFT code. Nepal does not use IBAN. Most banks in Nepal have a 16-digit account number. Useful SWIFT codes: Nabil Bank (NARBNPKA), Standard Chartered Nepal (SCBLNPKA), Nepal Investment Bank (NIBNNPKA). Always confirm with the recipient's bank.
How long does a money transfer to Nepal take?
eSewa and Khalti wallet deliveries arrive within minutes. Bank deposits typically settle in 1–2 business days via SWIFT. Cash pickup through IME, Prabhu, or Western Union is usually available within minutes to hours depending on agent availability. Transfers from India via NEFT/IMPS or Wise are among the fastest options.
Is remittance income taxable in Nepal?
No. Remittances received for personal use are not taxed in Nepal. The government actively encourages inward flows and Nepal Rastra Bank monitors official channel transfers but does not levy any tax or withholding on recipients.
What is the best way to send money from India to Nepal?
Due to the open border and pegged exchange rate (1 INR ≈ 1.6 NPR, fixed), sending from India to Nepal has special considerations. Wise does not yet support INR-to-NPR, but Remitly, IME, and several Indian banks support the corridor. Cash transfer via agents along the border is common but unregulated. For larger amounts, using an official bank-to-bank SWIFT transfer through correspondent banks is safest.
