KATHMANDU, JANUARY 29 Global IME Bank Limited has launched a new service that allows customers to open bank accounts directly through a self-service kiosk machine installed at its branch offices, aiming to provide simpler, more convenient, and technologically advanced banking services. The bank introduced the facility on the occasion of its 19th anniversary. Through this service, customers can independently open a bank account using a kiosk machine located at the bank's Kamaladi branch in Kathmandu.
