MetLife Nepal Brings Financial Protection Closer to Communities with 3 New Agency Offices

Kathmandu, January 16, 2026- MetLife Nepal has further strengthened access to financial protection with the opening of three new agency offices in Bardibas (Mahottari), Pathari (Morang), and Baglung, expanding its presence into these key regional hubs and their surrounding communities. These new agency offices will play an important role to bring trusted insurance guidance closer to people’s daily lives. 

For many families and small businesses in these areas, accessing life insurance has often meant traveling to distant cities or relying on limited information. With a local MetLife presence, customers can now receive personalized advice, timely service, and ongoing support within their own communities. 

The expansion is expected to have a meaningful impact beyond insurance access. By creating local employment opportunities and supporting more individuals to build careers as insurance professionals, the new offices contribute to regional economic activity and improved financial literacy. Increased awareness and adoption of insurance solutions also help families better prepare for uncertainties, potential income disruptions, and long-term life goals such as education and retirement.

Speaking on the expansion, Mr. Nirmal Kajee Shrestha, General Manager of MetLife Nepal, said: “Opening agency offices in Bardibas, Pathari, and Baglung is about strengthening financial resilience at the community level. When protection is accessible locally, families are better equipped to make informed decisions, manage risks, and plan for the future with confidence.”

As Nepal continues to grow and diversify economically, the need for accessible and reliable financial protection is more important than ever. By expanding its agency network in strategic locations, MetLife is supporting inclusive growth and helping ensure that more people—regardless of where they live—can benefit from long-term financial security.
