When Everest Bank Limited opened its 16th branch in Pokhara, it introduced a deposit campaign for one month offering various additional benefits and freebies to its customers, which also entailed a lottery for depositors. Bhim Bahadur Thapa of Pokhara won the first prize, a refrigerator sponsored by Saleways Departmental Store. Other two depositors won a DVD system and three depositors won a radio and CD system. Likewise, 25 lucky depositors received gift vouchers from Saleways Departmental Stores in Pokhara.
