National Savings Bank (NSB) has joined hands with EDEX Expo Mid-Year 2026 as its Official Banking Partner for the first time, reaffirming its commitment to empowering Sri Lanka’s youth through education, financial inclusion and access to future opportunities.

The official launch of EDEX Expo Mid-Year 2026 was held recently, with the participation of NSB Acting General Manager/CO Rohana Bandara Weerakoon in the launching ceremony, representing the bank.

Sri Lanka’s largest and longest-running education and job exhibition, EDEX Expo Mid-Year 2026 will be held on 5 and 6 September 2026 at the BMICH, Colombo. Organised continuously since 2004 by the Royal College Union, EDEX brings together local and international higher education institutions, professional and vocational education providers, employers, Government institutions and other public and private sector organisations.

The partnership reflects NSB’s commitment to supporting young Sri Lankans as they navigate an increasingly competitive and rapidly changing education and employment landscape. Recognising the importance of financial empowerment alongside education, NSB offers solutions to support students, parents and young professionals in achieving their aspirations.

These include the NSB I’M account for youth aged 19 to 35 years and NSB Buddhi, an education loan facility supporting local and overseas degree programs. The bank also provides personal loan facilities, balance confirmation services for visa applications, foreign currency services and Telegraphic Transfer (TT) facilities, subject to applicable terms and conditions. NSB’s digital banking ecosystem, including the NSB Pay App, Digital Banking and QR payment facilities, further enables customers to manage their finances conveniently.

Weerakoon said: “At NSB, we believe that education and financial empowerment must go hand in hand. Supporting young people in achieving their aspirations is an investment in the future of our nation. We are proud to partner with EDEX and look forward to making a meaningful contribution to this important national initiative.” NSB will be present at the EDEX Expo, providing students, parents and young professionals with an opportunity to engage with the Bank and explore financial solutions supporting their education and future.
