HNB Finance Ltd.

HNB Finance Limited was incorporated as a limited liability company in Sri Lanka on December 20, 1999 under the Companies Act No. 17 of 1982 as a member company of the Ceylinco Group to facilitate Micro finance lending for self-employment projects   under the “Grameen” concept and was re-registered on May 05, 2009 under the Companies Act No. 07 of 2007.

However, subsequent to the collapse of several  institutions within the Ceylinco Group, the Company was acquired by the Prime Lands Group in 2011.

Subsequently, in 2014, 51% of the Company was acquired by Hatton National Bank PLC.
