Below are banks in Sri Lanka that offer business / corporate / SME banking services. The Central Bank of Sri Lanka’s list of licensed commercial banks (current as at 31 March 2025) is the authoritative roster; virtually all licensed commercial banks on that list provide business, corporate or SME products (current accounts, trade finance, loans/overdrafts, corporate internet banking, payroll services, etc.). I list the licensed commercial banks first, then highlight the main domestic providers you’ll most often meet for business banking.

Notes and next steps

• The Central Bank page above is the official source for which banks are licensed in Sri Lanka (list date: 31 March 2025). Use that list to confirm regulatory status. (cbsl.gov.lk)
• Product features, fees, eligibility and limits differ by bank (SME vs corporate thresholds, export facilities, foreign-currency accounts, online sign-up). If you want, I can:
  • pull the business-banking product page (fees, account types, lending limits) for 3–5 specific banks you name, or
  • compare SME/current-account or trade-finance options (rates, documentation, onboarding) across a chosen subset.

Would you like me to fetch business-banking product pages or compare a few banks (e.g., Commercial Bank, HNB, Sampath, Bank of Ceylon)?
