BOC - Exchange of Multi Currency Agreement

Bank of Ceylon’s Travel Card, the most convenient, safe and secure multi-currency card will add more benefits and privileges through an exclusive arrangement with CH17 Loyalty – program dedicated for CH17’s corporate membership.

A Memorandum of Understanding to this effect was signed recently offering wide ranging benefits to BOC and CH17 cardholders making the product very attractive and one of its kind in the market. “Bank of Ceylon/MasterCard will jointly enjoy exclusive status and will have access to a large corporate base of the company,” CH17 Loyalty Founder and CEO Jumar Preena said.

CH17 has a prestigious network of member companies belonging to the apparel manufacturing and exports, IT/BPM Sector, the SME, Retail Marketing Sector, Golf Sports and selected companies who belong to the corporate sector.

BOC’s multi-currency travel card is the only forex travel wallet that could facilitate up to five different major international currencies. They are US Dollars, Sterling Pounds, Euro Currencies, Japanese Yen, and Aussie Dollars. “This is the best alternative to carrying currencies in cash or travellers cheque and a traveller is guaranteed of safety and security of their valuable foreign exchange,” said DGM International, Treasury and Investment Sugath Gunasekera.

“We are delighted to have CH17 Loyalty on board to add more meaningful value added features to the already popular international wallet. This is a well thought out plan to create customer loyalty at its best and a steady business relationship, Gunasekera added.

BOC will offer preferential exchange rates for CH17 Cardholders. This is in addition to several benefits the travel wallet offers in contrast to the conventional cash or travellers’ cheque or use of Credit/Debit Card for payments.

BOC-CH17 cardholders will enjoy exclusive privileges such as discounts on purchases from CH17’s partner retailers throughout the year. 

The first CH17/BOC cobranded card was issued to Joint Apparel Association Forum (JAAF) Secretary General Tuli Cooray by BOC CEO/General Manager Senarath Bandara at a special ceremony held at the BOC Tower on 1 January.

Present at the launch event which also marked BOC’s multi-religious new-year celebrations were D.P.K. Gunasekera DGM International, Treasury and Investments and S. Sivanjan AGM International and several other senior travel card officers and the general staff of the bank.
