Neeeext candidate for the Dept. of Self Promotion is Homey? :)
Citi Bank's rep office is in Hotel Yak N Yeti. All banks accept US Dollars and other so called ‘hard currency’ transfers into Nepal. ATM's accept any card with Visa on it. (They’re just reluctant to give your card back, so always go armed with a hammer and chisel.)
Transferring money out of Nepal to any third country requires special dispensation from Taplejung ko Sainla Bajey and the Pope, plus a permit from the Nepal Rastra Bank (the Papal dispensation is easier to get). An offer of prayers at Pashupatinath and a goat sacrifice at Dakshinkali has been known to help the case too. If this doesn’t work, head to the nearest Marwari shop and ask for directions on how to send money overseas, and for a fee, they will arrange it for you.
Many dodgy establishments in Nepal are delighted to accept greenbacks and the up-market ones should accept your credit/debit card. 'T' Bills are not so easily traded though, so leave them at home.
If you are planning a leveraged buyout of the Maoist rebellion and/or Royals, then, I am told on good authority, that their financial arrangements were supervised by Andrew Fastow with BCCI as bankers. Their auditors were the late, unlamented Anderson Consulting. As such, their books may bear more than close scrutiny.
If it’s the other rag tag demo-crazy teams you were planning a friendly take over of, (er..political parties I meant), then most of them are administered by the Reserve Bank of India so stop by in New Delhi. Those Indian banks are known to have mind boggling regulations regarding trade in convertible currencies. If all else fails, use the bankers of the Gandhi and Bachan family. They gained considerable experience with their Bofors transactions.
JDV, long time no see.

Let me know when you are here in Nepal. I would personally like to escort you to the ATM machine in Yak and Yeti. Perhaps we could hang out in old Chinese room after the transaction :) Ke cha bichar?

Sajan,
To answer your query about Citibank: they are not into any retail banking activities in Nepal. All they have is a representative office. I hope that clarfies matters for you.

Standard Chartered is not an American bank... but it is an international bank with heavy presence in Nepal, and as far as I know, the only one whose ATMs accept US based ATM /debit cards (Visa, MC, Cirrus, Plus, etc.).
They have ATMs in Thamel, Kantipath, Durbar Marg, New Road, Baneswar, Pulchok,
Pokhara Baidam, and probably a few more places.
