Being true to our mandate, we are committed to fostering a healthy, sustainable, and secure savings protocol for all people of the nation.

Today we are equipped with cutting-edge technology to serve the nation better.

NSB is the only Sri Lankan bank with a 100% Government Guarantee for its depositors’ money and interest therein, thus it is crowned as the safest place for savings. Meanwhile, NSB holds a strong position as a bank, committed to carrying out a business in a manner that positively builds the society at large by participating in nation-building by funding long-term development projects, and socio-economic projects of the Government.
