HDFC Bank recently opened its newest branch in Jaffna bringing the convenience of banking and offering a range of products and services.

HDFC Bank Chairperson Siromi Wickramasinghe was the chief guest and ceremonially opened the branch in the presence of HDFC Bank Acting CEO/GM S. Dissanayake, Chief Internal Auditor A.J.

Expressing views at the event Wickramasinghe mentioned that the Bank looks forward to contribute to the Government’s nation building activities by providing an exceptional service that will truly benefit the people in the area, in their need of housing.

HDFC has a history of over 27 years, as the affordable housing finance provider in the country. Over 75% of its credit facilities have been granted for financing the housing needs of people whose access to finance is low especially from the traditional commercial banking sector. Thus, the bank has greatly contributed towards the social upliftment of rural and low income masses, serving to improve their quality of life by cascading the hope of permanent shelter through housing finance.

The new branch located at No. 127, K.K.S. Road, Jaffna will offer a range of services including housing loans and attractive savings and fixed deposit schemes to the people of the Northern Province.
