Trip Turbo partners with Nabil Bank to enable travel bookings via nBank app

LALITPUR: Trip Turbo, Nepal’s largest travel marketplace, has partnered with Nabil Bank to enable customers to book travel services directly through the bank’s nBank mobile app.

Under the agreement signed by Adarsha Bazgain, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Nabil Bank, and Bimal Raj Poudel, Growth and Marketing Lead of Trip Turbo, nBank users can now book bus tickets, domestic and international flights, and travel activities offered by Trip Turbo without leaving the banking app.
