Offering the convenience of facilitating cash deposits at the comfort of one’s home or office, Amãna Bank recently introduced doorstep banking services to its customers. Through this initiative, both individual and business account holders can now make cash deposits, without being required to visit any branches or wait in long queues, but still have their accounts updated in real time.

Amãna Bank’s doorstep banking services are available from 9.00 am to 4.00 pm for cash deposits up to Rs. 500,000, as well as Cheque Deposits in the Colombo and Dehiwala regions, and will be expanded to other branch localities soon. Customers interested in this service can call the Bank’s hotline on 011 7 756 756 or visit the nearest branch.

Speaking on this initiative, the Bank’s Vice President (Retail Banking and Marketing) Siddeeque Akbar said: “With their busy schedules, customers have minimal or no time to visit their bank for day-to-day transactions.
