Zest Ideology Co-operative Ltd. is one of the renowned and growing cooperative organization registered on 2066-10-25 under Cooperative Act 2048 at Division Cooperative Office, Katmandu. It has started providing service officially from Maitidevi, Kathmandu on 2067-01-04 to promote the socio-economic status of the people by encouraging them to save from their earnings and lend loans from their savings in a socially responsible manner with the involvement of all classes of people in society.

With the demand of time, we took approval from Division Cooperative Office, Kathmandu, and shifted our head office from Maitidevi to New Road on 2069-12-04, keeping the Maitidevi office as a service centre. Recently we are providing service from the new service center in Kadagari, Kathmandu. By this we have above 5800 members active in the organization, providing regular services from Head Office and two service center.

To reach and to provide quality service to more people of the valley we have extended our working area to Kathmandu Metropolitan City and its all-neighboring Municipality by taking approval from Division Cooperative Office, Kathmandu on 2069-12-05.

Despite the acute competition of financial organizations in this area, this cooperative has indicated its presence by adopting a different visionary budget program. With the influence of information technology in a financial institution and seeing the demand of our valued customers, we have started operating our Mobile Banking services since 2075 by taking permission from concerned authorities.

More than 14 years of experience working in society has enabled us to build our services and solutions in strategy, consulting, digital, technology, and operations that help our members with their trading projects across the nation.
