Civil Bank Limited (CiBL)[4][5] (Nepali: सिभिल बैंक लिमिटेड; NEPSE: CBL) is a commercial bank in Nepal. Founded in 2010, the bank is an ‘A’ class commercial bank licensed by Nepal Rastra Bank[6] and has branches all across the nation with its head office in Kathmandu which provides entire commercial banking services.

The bank was established with a paid up capital of NPR 1.20 billion later raised to 2.00 billion by issuing ordinary shares. The paid up capital of the bank has since been increased to NPR 2.69 billion after distribution of stock dividends and successful acquisition of former Axis Development Bank Limited and Civil Merchant Bittiya Sanstha Limited.[7] The bank is under process of raising paid-up capital to 4.70 billion by acquiring International Leasing and Finance Company Limited. The bank's shares are publicly traded as an 'A' category company in the Nepal Stock Exchange.[8]

The bank has been maintaining harmonious correspondent relationships with various international banks from various countries to facilitate trade, remittance and other cross border services. Through these correspondents the bank is able to provide services in any major currencies in the world. The bank also maintains its extension offices Middle East to assist in the remittance of funds from overseas Nepalese workers. These services are soon to be expanded to South Korea after acquisition of International Leasing and Finance Company Limited.
