Nations Trust Bank, regulated by the Central Bank of Sri Lanka and governed by the Banking Act, commenced operations in July 1999 following the acquisition of the Colombo branch of the Overseas Trust Bank. Historically, the Bank’s profitability has been primarily driven by its Corporate Banking segment.
