A range of benefits including discounts on the purchase price, competitive lease rentals, special insurance packages and value-added services are now available to buyers of Isuzu motor lorries leased via the Commercial Bank of Ceylon.

A recent agreement between the Bank and Sathosa Motors PLC, which paved the way for this offer, envisages the provision of a discount of Rs. 50,000 on the purchase price from Sathosa Motors for each Isuzu motor lorry leased via Commercial Bank. The company also offers six ‘free-labour’ services for buyers under the scheme.

Commercial Bank complements these benefits with competitive rentals and special schemes for selected Isuzu motor lorries and will arrange for attractive insurance cover for lessees through Commercial Insurance Brokers, an associate of the bank.

“This offer also represents Commercial Bank’s continuing commitment to add value to customers of its leasing products by entering into agreements that increase benefits to customers, and to provide an impetus to the country’s rapid development.”
