Est. 2022 A.D. (Established as a dedicated micro life insurance company under Nepal’s insurance regulatory framework) · Surkhet, Nepal (Head Office) – Regional Office: Kathmandu, Nepal · CEO: Pratap Man Shrestha

Crest Micro Life Insurance Limited is a relatively new but growing entrant in Nepal’s life insurance sector, established to provide accessible, affordable, and dependable micro-life insurance solutions tailored especially for low-income and underserved populations across Nepal. CREST aims to bridge the gap in traditional insurance coverage, offering a range of micro-insurance products designed to meet the needs and budgets of everyday Nepali families. Its product portfolio includes term micro life insurance, micro-endowment plans, money-back micro-life policies, and upcoming plans such as joint-life insurance and child micro-life insurance reflecting its goal to deliver inclusive and flexible life-insurance coverage. As a licensed micro-life insurer regulated by the national insurance authority under Nepal’s insurance regulatory framework CREST has quickly built a presence across provinces, operating offices and branch networks throughout Nepal to ensure broad access. For policyholders, CREST emphasizes simplicity, transparency, and affordability: its offerings are designed to require minimal documentation, be accessible to those with modest incomes, and provide essential coverage offering protection and peace of mind in case of unforeseen events. Recent developments have also seen CREST launch a public offering: as of 2024, it initiated an IPO to expand its shareholder base and increase public participation.
