These paperless transaction modes can be made instantaneously at any given time from the comfort of your own home or work place with zero charges. Moreover, transactions can be made 24/7/365 days without the inconvenience of bank holidays and non-working hours. 

Being a trailblazer in digitalisation in the finance sector, CLC is the first finance company to introduce these online facilities.CLC also pioneered in inaugurating CEFTS (Common Electronic Fund Transfer System) and SLIPS (Sri Lanka Interbank Payment System) facilities reinforcing the innovative approach of satisfying customer needs.

CLC’s Savings and Deposit Unit has come a long way since its commencement of operations in 2012. CLC Savings Accounts offer competitive interest rates. It is equipped with ATM facilities with an internationally accessible Visa Debit card that also allow free of charge cash withdrawals through the ATM network and acts as a ‘personal shopping card’. It also offers SMS alerts with no additional cost.

Chief Manager – Savings Terence Kaushalya elaborated that CLC, which is one of the technophile players in the market observed the ever increasing internet penetration in the local community which was the inducement to introduce this modish facility. Transacting through mobile phones has moved from science fiction to reality long ago, providing ease of payment, increased security, and efficient tracking using a device most of us carry around already, as a result the number of traders accepting mobile payments is mounting up. 

Terence further stated that, “CLC is synonymous for bringing in innovative services to the market and also we were the first finance company to join CEFTS offering real time fund transferring facilities to customers. Thus innovativeness has become our DNA which is deliberately a cutting-edge over our competitors.”
