Hatton National Bank (HNB) has been named Sri Lanka’s Best Retail Bank in the seventh Asian Banker Excellence in Retail Financial Services Awards Programme.
The bank received the award on March 19 at The Asian Banker Excellence in Retail Financial Services Awards 2009 ceremony, held in conjunction with the region’s foremost retail banking event, the Excellence in Retail Financial Services Convention, according to an HNB press release. About 120 senior bankers from award winning banks in 22 countries across the Asia Pacific, the Gulf and Central Asian regions attended the formal gala dinner.
The awards programme, administered by The Asian Banker and refereed by prominent global bankers, consultants and academics, is the most prestigious of its kind. A stringent three month-long evaluation process, based on a balanced and transparent scorecard, determined the winners and the position of the different retail banks in the region.
HNB said it gained higher scores than the other banks surveyed in the programme, including Nations Trust Bank, HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank in Sri Lanka.
