Today, the 25th of February 2009, Hatton National Bank celebrates a momentous occasion: 120 years of service to the Nation since its inception as Hatton Bank, way back in 1888.

Appropriately arrangements have been made to mark this occasion in a special manner with the cancellation of a Commemorative Cover, especially designed for this special day, under the patronage of Hon. Mahinda Wijesekera, Minister of Posts and Telecommunication and the Postmaster General.

HNB, the Bank with a finger on the pulse of the people has, in its inimitable way changed lives, enhanced lifestyles and brought goals, that seemed distant within reach. The ability to reach out and touch people from every single social stratum has given the Bank the aura of a national institution, rather than a business organization and HNB with its record of achievement that spans 120 years, is committed to remain a household name in Sri Lanka.
