The Nation Trust Bank (NTB) while embarking on strategic goals for growth will focus on sustainability and improved stake holder value with an extremely customer centric approach.
“The bank recorded an exponential growth mainly due to its generic and selective partnerships in selected areas. The two fold approach enabled the bank to differentiate and customer segmentation where it has become a sales and service driven organization at present,” NTB Deputy Chief Executive Officer Renuka Fernando said.

Core-earnings posted good growth over 2011 with revenue increasing at a higher rate of 13 percent compared to an expense growth of 11 percent. The performance was primarily driven by four strategic business units comprising of retail and SME, credit cards, corporate banking and treasury which recorded both volume growth and profit growth for the period. Leasing also performed well despite industry wide challenges arising from the changes in the import tax structure for vehicles. The bank continuous to progress well in diversifying its portfolio and earnings base while optimizing returns in a controlled growth environment.
