Over nearly three decades of operations, PFL has expanded its network to multiple branches across various districts beyond Pokhara offering a broad set of financial services to individuals, small businesses, and retail customers. The company’s mandate includes deposit mobilisation, savings and fixed-deposit accounts, consumer and business loans, hire-purchase financing, and other standard financial-institution services meant to support trade, small entrepreneurship, housing, and general financial inclusion for underserved and semi-urban populations.PFL is publicly listed on the Nepal Stock Exchange under the symbol “PFL.” As of the recent public records, the total paid-up capital stands at approximately NPR 1.082 billion. The institution aims to channel savings from depositors and invest them into productive sectors through loans and financial services with an expressed goal to contribute to regional economic development, especially outside the Kathmandu valley. In addition to its traditional finance operations, PFL appears to engage in corporate-social responsibility (CSR) activities: for example, in 2025, on the occasion of its anniversary, the company organised a blood-donation program involving staff and the public indicating a degree of community engagement and social commitment beyond pure finance services.
