In keeping with its commitment to empowering Sri Lankan youth, NDB has reinforced its support for higher education through its education loans.
NDB has always recognized the benefits of a world-class higher education, which is vital in paving the pathway for one’s career. A higher-education provides the necessary educational background, knowledge and skills set, grooming the younger generation to enter the corporate world. This was the basis in which NDB, over the years has offered a special educational loan targeting those pursuing higher studies both locally and internationally.
NDB understands that paying for higher education is a significant investment in terms of financial resources and time spent but that it is also a lifetime investment. That is why NDB offers Mortgage Backed Educational Loans to overcome financial obstacles that the youth of today are faced with. The Bank continues to offer Educational Loans that are designed specially for local and foreign educational needs; and can be taken by the parents on behalf of their children or even by close relatives as well as the potential students who are in employment. A parent/relative or potential student can also apply for joint loans, giving them further flexibility to achieve their life long dreams.

Furthermore, tailor-made solutions are offered inline with the repayment capacity with ‘at-your-doorstep’ service.
