Centred around their ground-breaking digital transaction banking platform, HNB TXB, the session educated the participants on how the platform could help them work towards seamless and efficient financial control, and subsequently how they could manage their payments, cash flow, and even tap into global trade.

“At HNB, we recognize the vital role SMEs play in driving economic growth, and we are committed to providing them with the tools and support they need to thrive in today’s digital landscape.

To that effect, aiming to empower SMEs with the latest digital banking technology is one of the things we strive for through HNB TXB platform, enabling them to streamline their financial operations and unlock new opportunities for growth and success,” said Rajive Dissanayake HNB DGM SME & Microfinance.

The bank also introduced the steps it is taking to ensure the HNB TXB on-boarding process is as frictionless and simple as possible. They offered pre-filled documentation, which requires only verification and a final sign-off to be activated.
