The company reached a historic milestone in its 18-year journey by achieving Rs.111.68 billion in assets, setting a new benchmark in Sri Lanka’s financial services sector.

Further cementing its industry stature, Vallibel Finance is now ranked among largest top five finance companies in Sri Lanka within just 18 years of operation, a testament to its unwavering commitment to innovation, customer trust and strategic execution.

These robust results underscore its strong leadership, strategic vision and growing customer confidence.

With a workforce of over 1,800 dedicated employees and a rapidly expanding network of 80 touch points across the island, Vallibel Finance attributes its success to the unwavering commitment and professionalism of its team. During the financial year 2024/25, the company opened 11 new branches in strategically important locations throughout the country, further strengthening its national presence and enhancing customer accessibility. 

Alongside its financial achievements, Vallibel Finance’s state-of-the-art corporate head office in Colombo is a landmark building that stands as a testament to the company’s strength, innovation and long-term vision. 

Adding further distinction to the year, Vallibel Finance was reaffirmed with a BBB+ credit rating (Stable Outlook) by Lanka Rating Agency (LRA). 

By maintaining one of the lowest NPL ratios of 3.56 percent among its peers and delivering a return on equity of 18.72 percent for the financial year, Vallibel Finance continues to set new industry standards in performance, governance and customer-centric growth.
