Adds new facility that allows viewing of deposited cheques

Corporate customers of Commercial Bank’s Online Banking service, now enjoy several new benefits with the latest release offered via www.combank.lk. This includes the latest security enhancements for the benefit of the bank’s corporate customers such as two layer login; secure image upload where a user can upload a favourite image in to the Online Banking portal so that it would be displayed when signing on, facilitating verification of the site prior to entering a password; and a virtual key board that gives the user the option to use an on screen key board to avoid stealing of passwords.

This latest release has many other value additions, the bank said. It is capable of allowing single/dual or multi-level authorisation facility for payments, helping large companies to automate many of their payments. The system is also capable of applying payment limits according to the signature rules of various companies. Further, this system is also capable of allowing corporates to schedule their bill payments to be effected on a future date/actual due date. Viewing images of deposited and presented cheques is also possible now for users of this facility. This is the first time a bank in Sri Lanka has enabled its customers to view images of their deposited clearing cheques through an online banking platform. Registering of regular payment beneficiaries and executing payments to them 365 days of the year is also now possible. Submission of Letter of Credit applications with supporting document uploading too is possible. The bank has also enabled a corporate administrator facility for companies to manage theirinternal user authorities as and when required, conveniently without having to contact the bank. “The enhanced benefits in our new release will be greatly enjoyed and appreciated by our corporate customers, and re-iterate our commitment to customer convenience,” said Commercial Bank Deputy General Manager – Corporate Banking Marion Abeywardena.
