National Savings Bank Retains Place Among Sri Lanka’s Top Five Most Valuable Brands
National Savings Bank (NSB), Sri Lanka’s premier state-owned savings bank, has once again been recognised among the country’s five most valuable brands, reaffirming its strong brand equity, enduring customer trust and growing national significance.
The recognition was assessed and confirmed by Brand Finance, the world’s leading brand valuation consultancy, through its latest Sri Lanka 100 brand valuation assessment for 2026.
Marking the achievement, the award was formally presented by Ruchi Gunewardene, Chairman of Brand Finance Lanka, to Dr. Harsha Cabral, Chairman of National Savings Bank, and Rohana Bandara Weerakoon, Acting General Manager and CEO of NSB, at the Bank’s Head Office in Colombo recently.
The occasion was also attended by Antoinette Ludowyk, Co-Founder of Echelon Media, and Dulakshi Perera, AGM – Marketing, National Savings Bank, together with senior representatives of the Bank.
NSB’s continued presence among Sri Lanka’s five most valuable brands represents a significant achievement for a national institution whose core mandate has long centred on promoting savings, financial security and inclusive economic development.
The recognition also reflects the Bank’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its brand while adapting to the evolving expectations of an increasingly digitally connected generation of customers.
National Savings Bank Chairman Dr. Harsha Cabral noted that the achievement represents more than a ranking, as it reflects the confidence and trust built by generations of Sri Lankans in the NSB brand.
The recognition further underscores NSB’s enduring position within Sri Lanka’s financial landscape and its continued commitment to serving customers while supporting the country’s economic development.
