HNB PLC has renewed its partnership with Toyota Lanka (Private) Limited to provide customers across Sri Lanka with a comprehensive leasing package designed to make Toyota vehicles and equipment more accessible.

The renewed partnership covers Toyota passenger vehicles, Lite Ace trucks and vans, Toyota forklifts, Hino commercial vehicles and other Toyota brands. Customers will benefit from flexible financing options and value-added services available through HNB’s island-wide network.

Under the scheme, customers purchasing Toyota passenger vehicles can access special leasing rates, unregistered vehicle rates for structured leases and flexible residual value options. Eligible customers can obtain leasing facilities with residual values of up to 50%.

Commercial vehicle buyers will also benefit from special rates for Lite Ace trucks, Lite Ace vans, Hino vehicles and other commercial models. Unregistered vehicle rates will be available for structured leases, while customers financing Toyota forklifts and machinery through regular leasing facilities can access special rates.

Additional benefits include a complimentary HNB credit card with the first-year annual fee waived and discounted vehicle insurance premiums through HNB General Insurance. Promotional activities will also be conducted across HNB’s island-wide network.

“Our focus is on making vehicle ownership more accessible and convenient for our customers, while giving them greater financial freedom. This partnership brings together flexible financing solutions and practical benefits that give customers greater choice and confidence, whether they are purchasing a vehicle for personal use or investing in their business,” said Damith Pallewatte, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of HNB PLC.

Complementing the financing facilities, Toyota Lanka will offer free vehicle registration and a comprehensive warranty of three years or 100,000 kilometres, whichever comes first, for Toyota-branded vehicles. Customers will also receive three complimentary services.

For Toyota forklifts, the package includes a two-year or 6,000-hour warranty, together with three labour-free services.

Through the renewed partnership, HNB and Toyota Lanka aim to provide customers with greater flexibility in financing vehicle purchases while enhancing the overall ownership experience through additional services and benefits.
Seylan Bank’s Total Assets Exceed LKR 1 Trillion Milestone
Seylan Bank PLC has surpassed LKR 1 trillion in total assets, marking a major milestone in its growth journey and reinforcing its position among Sri Lanka’s leading private sector banks. The Bank achieved this landmark in September 2026, becoming the fourth private sector bank in the country to reach the milestone.

The achievement underscores Seylan Bank’s financial growth and continued commitment to meeting customers’ everyday banking needs. It also reflects the progress made by the Bank in recent years and the confidence it has built among its customers.

Commenting on the milestone, Ramesh Jayasekara, Director/Chief Executive Officer of Seylan Bank PLC, said, “Surpassing LKR 1 trillion in total assets is a significant milestone for Seylan Bank. This achievement reflects the dedication of our employees and their continued focus on delivering value to our customers. Our customer-centric approach remains central to the way we operate, and we are grateful for the trust our customers have placed in Seylan Bank. As we mark this milestone, we remain focused on building on our growth and further strengthening the value we deliver to our customers.”

Reaching the LKR 1 trillion mark represents another significant step in the Bank’s expansion, highlighting its growing scale and the contributions of its employees and customers to its continued progress.

The milestone follows Seylan Bank’s success at the Euromoney Awards for Excellence 2026, where it was recognised as Sri Lanka’s Best Bank for Customer Experience and Sri Lanka’s Best Bank for SMEs. The Bank secured the Best Bank for Customer Experience title for the second consecutive year, having first received the award in 2025.

These recognitions highlight two key areas of the Bank’s strategy: delivering seamless and accessible banking experiences while providing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with specialised financial and non-financial support to facilitate their growth.

Together, the asset milestone and international recognition reflect Seylan Bank’s continued focus on customer service, SME development and sustainable growth within Sri Lanka’s banking sector.
