NDB Bank-ABEC empower students pursuing overseas education

NDB Bank has further strengthened its commitment to enabling Sri Lankan students to pursue global academic opportunities through a newly signed memorandum of understanding with Australian Business Education Centre (ABEC), a leading international education consultancy. 

The official signing ceremony was held with the participation of senior representatives from both organisations. Representing NDB Bank were Senior Vice President Personal Banking and Customer Experience Sanjaya Perera and Vice President Retail Banking Zeyan Hemeed. ABEC was represented by its Managing Director H.J.M. Dilip Kumara and Executive Director N.S. Amarasinghe.

This partnership brings together NDB’s comprehensive banking solutions and ABEC’s global expertise in educational counselling and international student placements. With a track record of guiding thousands of students toward affordable, globally recognised higher education, ABEC supports applicants through the entire process—from university selection and course matching to visa application and pre-departure services.

Through this collaboration, NDB Bank will offer specialised financial services, including tailored education loan schemes, foreign exchange services and advisory support designed to ease the financial burden on students and their families. This initiative aligns with the bank’s mission of supporting Sri Lankans in achieving their aspirations while enhancing financial accessibility and convenience.

Perera stated, “At NDB, we believe in the transformative power of education. This partnership with ABEC allows us to bridge financial and informational gaps for students who dream of studying abroad. By combining our banking strength with ABEC’s extensive consultancy experience, we are empowering the future generation and making overseas education seamless.”

NDB Bank remains committed to forming strategic alliances that deliver practical, life-enhancing benefits for its customers. With this partnership, the bank continues to stand at the forefront of empowering Sri Lankan youth to explore global educational pathways with confidence and ease.
