To facilitate hassle-free banking through formal channels, particularly for migrant labour, HNB PLC, opened a mini customer centre at the Department of Immigration and Emigration in Battaramulla recently.
HNB’s mini customer centre at the Passport office will offer migrant workers access to banking services such as the encashment of foreign remittances, and opening Rupee and foreign currency accounts. Customers also have the option of transferring cash and making use of banking facilities through HNB’s mobile banking app and digital wallet SOLO.
It was opened by the Governor of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka, Ajith Nivard Cabraal with HNB Managing Director and CEO, Jonathan Alles and senior officers.
HNB Managing Director / CEO Jonathan Alles said, “The opening of this new mini customer centre is the latest in a series of measures HNB is launching, in support of the Central Bank’s efforts to help streamline access and performance of formal remittance networks, to ensure that the nation’s migrant workers have the access to a safe, secure and efficient option when sending their hard-earned income home.
“As such we are delighted to be opening a mini customer centre at the Department of Immigration and Emigration under the auspices of the CBSL,” he said.
