HNB partners SL Customs for real-time customs duty payments

HNB, Sri Lanka’s largest private sector bank now offers its retail and corporate customers real-time, customs duty payment facility with Sri Lanka Customs. 

HNB customers can now avail themselves of the streamlined approach of the on-line payment platform to pay customs duty and other payments. The facility is enabled through Lanka Clear and can be used by any HNB Internet or Mobile banking customer. 

HNB Electronic Delivery Channels Head Mangala Wickramasinghe says “We at HNB are glad to make possible the seamless, electronic payment facility which would provide great convenience to our Corporate as well as Retail customers.”
