In a revolutionary industry breakthrough, Seylan Bank has re-launched its popular customer loyalty scheme, ‘Seylan Sure’, to deliver the highest possible benefits to its customers. Seylan Bank pioneered in introducing this loyalty scheme for savings and current account holders which has now evolved to be the benchmark of the industry. Seylan Sure ensure definite gifts for accountholders, but it also offers the most affordable deposit slabs, yet another ground-breaking initiative by the bank. 

These benefits are provided in addition to the interest of your savings account. The maximum grant amount has now been increased from Rs. 15,000 to Rs. 200,000 for savings and current account holders, both joint and personal.

Seylan Bank further upholds its legacy of being the pioneering entity in the country’s banking industry to introduce a reward scheme to the public, as opposed to the practice that prevailed of offering gifts in a draw. The bank offers definite cash grants and gifts to mark important milestones in the lives of customers. The existing reward categories, which include marriage, childbirth, surgery and 60th birthday, have been expanded further to include customers whose children have passed the Grade Five Scholarship, Ordinary Levels and Advanced Levels examinations, and the occasion of the 10th wedding anniversary. 

In the event of a surgery, the benefit to a customer is Rs. 200,000.  Catering to every stage in the customer’s lifecycle, Seylan Sure is an undeniably value product for every customer. In enhanced amounts for new categories, customers’ children passing the Grade five scholarship exams will receive Rs. 50,000, as well as students who have passed their O/L with 8As and A/L with 3As. Further, a cash gift of Rs. 50,000 will be awarded to customers celebrating their 10th wedding anniversary
