Ways to receive money in Nepal from the United Kingdom
Bank deposit
Funds are paid into a Nepalese rupee bank account. You will need the recipient's full name, their bank and branch, and their account number. Nepal does not have a national IBAN format, so use the receiving bank's account number rather than an IBAN. For a direct SWIFT transfer, the receiving bank's SWIFT/BIC code and the full beneficiary account details are required, and the bank may ask for the purpose of the remittance in the payment message.
eSewa
eSewa is a widely used Nepalese mobile wallet. The recipient needs a registered eSewa wallet with completed KYC, and the name and wallet details must match what you enter.
Khalti
Khalti (by IME) supports receiving remittances into the wallet where this option is available. The recipient's wallet must be KYC-verified and their details must match the transfer.
Cash pickup
For cash pickup, the recipient collects the money at a payout location using the sender-provided PIN or secret code together with valid government-issued identification. The name on their ID must match the name on the transfer.
