HNB FINANCE PLC, one of Sri Lanka’s leading integrated financial services providers, has relocated its Nelliady branch to No. 216/1, Jaffna Road, Nelliady, strengthening its presence in the Northern Province and expanding customer access to formal financial services.
The relocation responds to growing demand for financial solutions in the region and forms part of HNB FINANCE’s wider strategy to support households, entrepreneurs and businesses through improved access to savings, credit, leasing and other financial services.
The Nelliady branch offers HNB FINANCE’s comprehensive portfolio of financial solutions, including gold loans, leasing, fixed deposits, savings and microfinance facilities. Customers can also access specialised gold-backed lending products such as Gold Plan and VIP Gold Loan, which provide convenient access to liquidity with flexible repayment options.
Located in modern and accessible premises in Nelliady town, the relocated branch was ceremonially opened on 7 August 2026 by HNB FINANCE Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer Chaminda Prabhath, in the presence of senior management representatives, distinguished guests and customers.
Speaking at the opening, Prabath said HNB FINANCE remained focused on strengthening its position as a preferred financial services provider while expanding access to solutions that address the evolving needs of customers.
“It is a privilege to be part of the opening of our new Nelliady branch, and I extend my appreciation to everyone who joined us on this occasion. HNB FINANCE commenced its journey 26 years ago, and since then we have grown into one of Sri Lanka’s leading financial services companies. Today, we are able to provide customers with a comprehensive range of solutions covering their key financial requirements. Through the relocated Nelliady branch, we aim to further improve the customer experience while widening access to financial solutions. Our focus goes beyond delivering quality financial services, and we remain committed to building long-term relationships by understanding the needs of our customers and supporting them through different stages of their economic journey,”Mr. Prabhath said.
Improved access to formal finance plays an important role in regional economic development by enabling households, self-employed individuals and small enterprises to access savings, productive credit and asset-financing opportunities.
Through its strengthened presence in Nelliady, HNB FINANCE aims to support the Northern Province’s growing commercial and entrepreneurial activity while continuing to expand its physical distribution network and bring financial services closer to communities across Sri Lanka.
