HSBC has relocated its branch in Wellawatte to a more conveniently accessible location at No 587, Galle Road, Colombo 6, in its endeavour to provide a better customer experience.

With the re-location of its branch, HSBC will continue to renew its profound banking relationships with existing customers, whilst open its doors to new businesses and banking relationships with new customers residing in the area.

Adding to the enhanced service experience, the Wellawatte branch will continue to enrich the lives of current and potential customers in the area and adjoining Dehiwala and Mount Lavinia, given the close proximity to the new location with a host of retail banking services.

These would include global propositions such as HSBC Premier and Advance, HSBC Credit Cards, Lifestyle Loans and a day and night banking centre with phone banking, internet banking, easy pay machines for cash and cheque deposits and ATM for cash withdrawals, that are accessible 24/7 for convenient round the clock banking. The branch has been designed to offer an international banking experience and ambience that meet HSBC’s global standards.

As we continue to grow our retail banking business in the country, we want to offer customers the accessibility and convenience to perform their banking with the right products and services. The Wellawatte branch is an important branch in our local network and serves a diverse portfolio of customers. Our decision to re-locate the branch is to offer more convenient banking to customers and we invite customers to patronise the branch to experience a truly international level of service.”
