Editorial review, not paid promotion
These broker guides are independent editorial. Nepse Signal has no commission arrangement with any NEPSE broker. All brokerage fees in Nepal are set by NRB and are identical across TMS members — pick a broker for service quality and convenience, not for price.
About Linch Stock Market
Linch Stock Market Ltd. (TMS member #41) operates from New Baneshwar, Kathmandu — one of the city's faster-growing commercial corridors. The broker has steadily climbed the turnover leaderboard through the 2024–25 cycle, reflecting growing retail-trader adoption.
Floorsheet patterns suggest a higher proportion of active short-hold trading versus pure buy-and-hold — frequent reversal pairs, smaller average ticket size, and concentration in mid-cap names. That makes Linch a natural home for intraday and swing-trade clients.
Strengths
- TMS adoption is high among Linch clients — useful if your trading style is online-first and you rarely need to visit a branch.
- Strong presence on the floorsheet of mid-cap and small-cap names — your order flow blends in without standing out as 'foreign capital'.
- Newer office infrastructure in New Baneshwar reduces the friction (parking, queueing) some older Kathmandu broker offices have.
What to watch out for
- Active-trader client mix means peak-hour TMS load is higher; place orders early in the session if you need a specific entry.
- Standard NRB-fixed brokerage applies (0.24%–0.36%).
- Public-facing research output is light. The broker is execution and TMS-focused, not advisory.
How to open an account
- Open a Demat account at any commercial bank or DP (Depository Participant). This gives you a 16-digit BOID — required for every NEPSE transaction.
- Visit the broker's office (or download their KYC form from the TMS link below) with your citizenship certificate, PAN card, recent passport photo, and the bank-issued cheque or Demat statement that shows your BOID.
- Sign the broker's client agreement and the standing instruction that authorises NEPSE settlement.
- Once the broker activates your trading account (usually 1–3 business days), log in to their TMS portal with the credentials they email you and place your first order.
Account opening is free; brokerage is what they earn from
No NEPSE broker charges an account-opening fee — they earn on the per-trade commission (slid by NRB rules between 0.24% and 0.36% depending on trade size). If a 'service charge' is quoted up front, ask for the SEBON-approved fee schedule before signing.
