Celebrating its 10th anniversary, Siyapatha Finance PLC, a fully owned subsidiary of Sampath Bank PLC, last week launched a brand new loyalty card for its leasing customers. The card will make every leasing customer of Siyapatha Finance eligible to enjoy discounts and other benefits through a number of vehicle-related goods and service providers island-wide, throughout the lease period, the company announced at a special celebration ceremony titled Dhashakayaka Abhishekaya held on 1 October.
Speaking at the ceremony, Siyapatha Finance Chairman Channa Palansuriya said it is one of the few finance companies fully owned by a leading private commercial bank.
“This means that customers approach us with the same level of trust and assurance they would expect from Sampath Bank,” he said.
Palansuriya pointed out that sustainability plays an important part in the company’s business strategy that has, over the years, positively influenced its various products and innovations.
He further said that Siyapatha Finance employs highly ethical practices in its businesses.
“By identifying opportunities in a rapidly changing economic environment, the win-win strategies of our social and sustainability initiatives over the past few years, and our forward thinking approach, our valued customers, our key stakeholder Sampath Bank, Corporate Management Team and staff members have helped Siyapatha Finance become what it is today,” he said.
Meanwhile, CEO Roshan Nanayakkara attributed the company’s success over the past 10 years to its customer base.
“The success of Siyapatha Finance has always been rooted in the community. As we celebrate and reflect on the past 10 years, our greatest successes have been our customers’ greatest successes,” he said.
Palansuriya said the company had high hopes for the future.
“Our journey ahead will take Siyapatha Finance PLC a step further, and make it the most trustworthy finance company with a banking mindset offering banking products and services, which will not only help people to achieve the impossible, but also provide a chance to those who thought they could not achieve their dreams,” he said.
