HSBC: Best International Bank in Sri Lanka by Euromoney
View(s):HSBC has been recognised as the Best International Bank in Sri Lanka by Euromoney for the second year in a row in their Awards for Excellence 2025. The award recognises HSBC’s leadership in banking innovation, corporate sustainability, and financial stability, noting that the bank deepened its digital reach, achieving 98 per cent digital penetration in cash‑management and 84 per cent in trade transactions via HSBCNet, and rolled out a fully digital account‑opening process, the bank said in a media release.
According to Euromoney “HSBC Sri Lanka also delivered on corporate sustainability by supporting the English Communication Skills of 8,000 rural children by training 160 English language teachers serving in primary and secondary schools. This is in partnership with Sarvodaya, the Open University and the Ministry of Education. They also awarded seed funding to 20 selected women entrepreneurs as part of the
ongoing programme with Sarvodaya Fusion, to support female-led SMEs from various industries across the country. Over 150 women participated in this programme.
It also broke new ground in sustainable lending, completing a ‘first in market’ sustainability‑linked trade loan and executing US$149 million in transactions aligned with global sustainability goals. The bank’s environmental commitments included a partnership with the International Union for Conservation of Nature to restore 125 hectares of degraded land and the launch of an educational series on ESG practices.
Mark Surgenor, CEO of HSBC Sri Lanka commented, “To be named Best International Bank in Sri Lanka by Euromoney for the second year in a row, cements our leadership in international banking. We owe this to our clients’ trust and the team’s dedication in Sri Lanka.”
