This initiative, called Daraz NMB Sajilo Karja, provides sellers with easy access to collateral-free loans to help them expand their businesses and aims to enable new opportunities for growth, as per a press statement.

Daraz Nepal's Managing Director Aanchal Kunwar and NMB Bank's Deputy Chief Officer Govind Ghimire signed the agreement. One of the key features of Daraz NMB Sajilo Karja is the provision of collateral-free loans.
