ALLIANCE FINANCE INSPIRES A NEW GENERATION OF ENVIRONMENTALLY AND SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE SAVERS WITH AFC HAPANNU

October 31, 2025

Alliance Finance Company PLC (AFC), Sri Lanka's oldest operating non-banking financial institution and the country's only environmental and social sustainability-certified NBFI, continues its unwavering commitment to sustainable value creation with the relaunch of its AFC Hapannu Children's Savings Account - a product that connects the financial, social, and environmental growth of the next generation.

ALLIANCE FINANCE INSPIRES A NEW GENERATION OF ENVIRONMENTALLY AND SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE SAVERS WITH AFC HAPANNU

The AFC Hapannu Children's Savings Account is envisioned to cultivate a savings habit among children while nurturing a socially and environmentally responsible new generation. It aims to help children understand that money has meaning - not only in what it earns, but in the good it can do. Through this initiative, AFC hopes to inspire young savers to become future leaders who are conscious of the world around them and who value responsibility, care and sustainability.

As Sri Lanka's oldest Non-Banking Financial Institution, AFC's journey began in 1956 with a Double Bottom Line philosophy - balancing profit with social value creation. In 2012, the company reached its point of inflection by embracing the Triple Bottom Line philosophy - People, Planet, and Profit. This philosophy now forms the foundation of every initiative AFC undertakes, including its savings, lending, and sustainability programmes.
