Sri Lanka’s premier private sector bank HNB PLC partnered with leading agricultural and construction equipment provider United Mercury Group (UMG) Lanka to offer exclusive discounts and attractive benefits on MATADOR heavy-duty machinery.
The partnership will offer customers access to an extensive range of agricultural and construction equipment by UMG. A special ceremony was held at HNB Towers to sign the MoU with the attendance of HNB Deputy General Manager – Retail and SME Banking, Sanjay Wijemanne and UMG Managing Director/COO, Asiri Walisundara.
“We’re pleased to support a broad range of customers with this partnership, especially after the challenging events of last year.
