The launch amounts to the 676th SSM operated by HNB, which already maintains the largest deposit network in Sri Lanka.
The CCC launch was attended by CCC Chief Executive Officer, Anand Sundaram and Chief Financial Officer, Devadharshan Jayadeva, together with HNB Assistant General Manager - Network Management, Nirosh Perera.
Speaking at the unveiling of the new machine, Perera said: “The launch of the Colombo City Centre represented another important milestone in Sri Lanka given that it stands as the country’s first truly international mall and integrated lifestyle complex.
In that regard, we are pleased to see HNB alongside so many famed international brands and we are confident that our residents and customers and tourists visiting the CCC will be well served by our presence,”
“As one of Sri Lanka’s most respected and successful retail banks, we are extremely pleased to come on-board with Colombo City Centre.
Our Smart Self Service Machine is ideally located within the premises to provide the most convenient access to banking services and this helps to further enhance the attraction of what is already Sri Lanka’s most unique integrated lifestyle location.”
In addition to the SSM ATM, HNB has further expanded its presence at the CCC with the distribution of Point-of-Sales (POS) Machines to several merchants that have set up shop at the iconic new location.
Conveniently situated by the scenic Beira Lake in the heart of the city, this ultra- modern lifestyle destination has been billed as Sri Lanka’s first international fashion mall, offering a world-class combination of culinary, entertainment, and retail experiences from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day, including a mix of high-end local and global brands, a progressive six-screen Cineplex, and the nation’s first food atrium.
