Visibly differentiating itself from our peers, Nations Trust continues to lead the country’s technology transformation in the financial services sector, consistently delivering holistic customer experiences to an increasingly tech savvy demographic. INNOVATING TO DRIVE GROWTH Innovation is key to delivering our strategic goals and the Bank invested LKR 880 million in information technology assets in 2018 which amounted for a majority of the capital expenditure. Open API Banking and FriMi have been first to market technologies in the country and we will look to maintain the momentum gathered, leveraging our expertise gained in cutting edge technology. Transformation of the bank as a technology driven customer centric bank and improvement in the cost to income ratio are just two aspects of the yield from these investments.

  • NATIONS TRUST BANK PLC and ITS SUBSIDIARIES Company Number
    NATIONS TRUST BANK PLC AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES Company Number PQ 118 INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Six months ended June 30, 2020 NATIONS TRUST BANK CONTINUES TO SUPPORT THE NATIONS’ INITIATIVES DURING THESE UNPRECEDENTED TIMES The Bank maintained essential banking services uninterrupted during the period of lockdown, contributing to efforts by the Sri Lankan government to manage the impact of COVID‐19 pandemic. Our investments in digital technology continued to benefit customers during this hour of need. This was proven by the extensive use of Bank's digital platforms by our customers. Further, the Bank implemented relief schemes in line with the Government directives to support customers affected by the economic downturn as a result of the pandemic. One of the key priorities of the Bank at this time is to ensure a strong liquidity position enabling it to meet ongoing commitments. Mechanisms to manage fund outflows, facility rollovers and utilization levels as well as the arranging of additional funding lines were implemented. The Bank has taken all recommended measures to ensure the safety and wellbeing of its employees, customers and all other stakeholders during these unprecedented times and continues to adhere to the guidelines issued by the Government and health authorities. Financial results for the 2nd quarter of 2020 Group’s Operating profit before all taxes declined by 4%, while Profit after Tax increased by 24% due to the removal of the Debt Repayment Levy and NBT on financial services. Net Interest income declined by 15% due to the lack of growth in the loan book and interest ceiling imposed from April 2019 together with the impact on the moratorium loans.

  • Assessment of Auction Mechanism
    Additional Financing of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises Line of Credit Project (RRP SRI 49273-002) ASSESSMENT OF AUCTION MECHANISM A. Introduction 1. The original project introduced an auction to allocate the funds among the participating banks. The auctions created a framework where banks made a disbursement commitment and incurred a financial penalty if that disbursement was not achieved. 2. The project conducted two auctions. In the first, National Development Bank (NDB) won the entire $12.5 million available. In the second, the funds were evenly divided among three institutions. 3. The project had planned to review the auction mechanism after the second auction, at which time Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the government would decide whether to continue with the auction or to introduce a more conventional allocation system. Following this review, the government requested the latter so that more banks could participate. 4. Although appreciating the government’s reasons for requesting the cancellation, the project team was overall pleased with the auction’s performance, and the objective of this appendix is to capture any lessons that could be applied to future auction systems. B. Lessons 1. Dominance by a Subset of Banks 5. The government was correct that the auction limited participation. After NDB won all the funds during the first auction, ADB and the government agreed to cap the amount any bank could win to a third of available funds. 6. Despite these changes, the bidding pattern of the first two auctions suggested that a subset of banks would dominate the auctions. Indeed, the same four banks finished in the top five of both rounds (Table 1).
