Continuing its mission to make homeownership more accessible and inclusive, HNB PLC has partnered with Prime Group to introduce two new enhancements to its home loan offering.

The announcement was made following a strategic meeting held at HNB Towers between senior representatives of both institutions, reaffirming their shared commitment to simplifying the homebuying journey for Sri Lankans across income segments.

Through this extended collaboration, prospective homeowners will now be able to secure full financing without an initial down payment, removing a key financial barrier. In addition, customers will be eligible for a 20% top-up loan at the time of property handover, which can be used for furnishing, air conditioning, and other essential household items, upon submission of relevant documentation.

These enhanced offerings are aimed at supporting aspiring homeowners not just with acquiring property, but with establishing a comfortable, fully equipped living environment from day one.

Commenting on the initiative, HNB Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer Damith Pallewatte said: “At HNB, we believe that homeownership should be an achievable goal for all Sri Lankans. With our enhanced home loan offering, including 100% financing and lifestyle support, we are making that goal more attainable. Our continued collaboration with Prime Group enables us to deliver practical, flexible solutions that empower customers at every stage of their homeownership journey.”

Prime Group Chairman Premalal Brahmanage added: “We’re pleased to deepen our partnership with HNB, especially through a solution that removes barriers for aspiring homeowners. Offering end-to-end financial support, including for household essentials, reflects the evolving expectations of modern buyers and together, we’re addressing them with care and innovation. As Sri Lanka’s most trusted real estate brand, Prime Group remains committed to delivering not just homes, but complete lifestyle solutions that empower our customers at every step of their journey.”

The offering will be available across Prime’s portfolio of housing and apartment developments, including high-demand projects in urban and suburban hubs. HNB will provide flexible repayment options and personalised advisory support through its island- wide branch network.

This collaboration builds on the longstanding relationship between HNB and Prime Group, two trusted names committed to delivering value, security, and convenience to Sri Lanka’s real estate and banking customers.
