“PLC has introduced ‘Senehasa Yaalu’ gift scheme for children and now they can derive attractive gifts from time to time under this program on the sums deposited by their parents on a regular basis. This was launched to coincide with the World Children’s day. Children are already attracted to it. Parents of children up to the age of 13 are now eager to open ‘Senehasa Yaalu’ accounts for their children,” he said.
People’s Leasing was commissioned in 1995 as a wholly owned subsidiary of the second largest State bank in Sri Lanka, the People’s Bank.
