History[]

1888 ~ 1900: In 1888 the hill station of Hatton saw the genesis of a bank; the first of its kind within the burgeoning tea plantations of the then Ceylon. Aptly named Hatton Bank, this bank became the lifeline to thousands of plantation workers.

1901 ~ 1975: HNB explored and widened new avenues of opportunity for its customers in 1971. The opening of its 1st branches were at Pussellawa, Gampola and Maskeliya. HNB pioneered the concept of ‘Mobile Banking’ – which continues to be a boon to people particularly in rural areas.

1976 ~ 1995: The Bank sponsored the First ever official Test Match played by the National side against England.
