HNB General Insurance Ltd., (HNBGI) has entered into a landmark strategic partnership with HNB Stockbrokers Ltd., marking a significant milestone in the Group’s mission to provide seamless, comprehensive financial services via enhanced group synergy.

The collaboration is designed to offer specialised general insurance solutions directly to the customers of HNB Stockbrokers, ensuring that investors can protect their assets and lifestyles with the same expertise used to grow their wealth. This integration reflects ‘Group Synergy in Action,’ aligning the collective strengths of the HNB ecosystem to deliver superior value and convenience to its diverse clientele.

The official agreement was signed at a ceremony attended by HNB General Insurance Director/CEO Sithumina Jayasundara, HNB Investment Bank MD/Group CEO Ray Abeywardena, and HNB Stockbrokers Director/CEO Prashan Fernando.

By combining HNB General Insurance’ robust insurance portfolio with HNB Stockbrokers’ deep-rooted relationship with the investor community, the partnership creates a one-stop financial ecosystem. This move simplifies access to protection products - ranging from motor and home insurance to specialised corporate covers - tailored to the needs of sophisticated investors.

HNB General Insurance Director/CEO Sithumina Jayasundara said: “At HNB General Insurance, we believe that true financial security is two-fold, growing your assets and protecting them. This partnership with HNB Stockbrokers is a perfect example of HNB Group’s synergy in action. By integrating our insurance expertise into the stockbroking journey, we are making it easier than ever for our clients to access client-focused protection that secures their future and their families.”

HNB Stockbrokers Director/CEO Prashan Fernando said: “Our commitment has always been to provide our clients with more than just a trading platform; we aim to be their total financial partner. Collaborating with HNBGI allows us to enhance our value proposition significantly. We are now able to offer our clients a more holistic service, ensuring that while they focus on building their portfolios, their broader insurance needs are being met by one of the most trusted names in the industry.”

This partnership serves as a blueprint for how the HNB Group continues to evolve. By breaking down silos between banking, investments, and insurance, the Group is creating a more resilient and integrated service model. This strategic alignment not only strengthens the Group’s internal cohesion but, more importantly, ensures that in the end, the customer benefits from a more efficient, sophisticated, and comprehensive financial journey.
