Prabhu Bank is one of Nepal’s leading commercial banks, committed to its promise: “विश्वास लिन्छौं, विश्वास दिन्छौं”. For a bank whose large number of customers work abroad, this promise must travel across oceans.
When Distance Created Doubt
Suman Adhikari moved to Qatar five years ago to support his family back home in Nepal. Every month, he sent his salary through Prabhu Bank. But until his mother called from Nepal to confirm, he never really knew if the money had arrived.
Sometimes I’d wait hours just staring at my phone. No alert, nothing. I’d only relax when my family told me they got it

Suman’s story is common. For thousands of Nepalis working abroad, every missed or delayed banking alert wasn’t just an inconvenience- it was a moment of doubt about their family’s well-being. For them, bank updates are not just yet another notification; they are peace of mind. But the legacy system bank had (a combination of some scripts and Microsoft Exchange) was not built for distance and couldn’t live up to this responsibility.
- SMS alerts were unreliable and often failed across international networks.
- Email servers couldn’t handle the growing volume
- No tracking meant teams couldn’t see what went wrong when a message didn’t go through.
- Delays stretched from minutes into hours.
When alerts failed or were delayed, our customers abroad felt anxious and disconnected. That hurt their trust in us.

For a bank built on विश्वास (trust), every missed alert wasn’t just a technical glitch. It was a broken promise.
Keeping customers informed, wherever they are
Prabhu Bank knew it had to bridge an emotional gap more than a technology gap. Fixing this wasn’t just about upgrading servers. It was about making sure customers like Suman could finally relax, the moment they sent money home.
That’s why Prabhu Bank integrated GUMP, a secure messaging system designed to plug directly into their core banking system.
We felt that moving forward, our existing system was going to hurt our customer relations,” said Rishi Ram Neupane, Head of IT at Prabhu Bank. “We needed a solution that could handle the growing volume, send alerts instantly, and keep a log of every message.

Now, customers receive instant updates, whether they’re in Kathmandu or Kuwait, without the delays of SMS or old servers. Unlike the old setup, which relied on scripts, overloaded servers, and a daily email quota, GUMP handled the heavy lifting:
- Secure APIs that integrated seamlessly with the bank’s core banking system
- Emails delivered in near real time, no matter the customer’s location
- Personalized templates so messages feel tailored, not generic
- A clear dashboard showing every sent, delivered, bounced, and failed email
- End-to-end audit logs for effortless tracing and compliance
- Bank-grade security, including role-based access and multi-factor authentication.
We were live in just a few days, and the GUMP team supported us every step from integration to designing personalized templates that feel like they’re speaking directly to our customers. Scalability used to be our biggest worry, but today we don’t worry about growing volume anymore. GUMP takes care of it, letting us focus on serving customers.

Within weeks, GUMP transformed how Prabhu Bank communicates with its customers abroad. Not just in numbers, but in the peace of mind those numbers represent.
