ComBank and Daraz spark shopping fever with series of year-end promotions

As shopping begins to occupy thoughts with the year drawing to a close, the Commercial Bank of Ceylon has unveiled a series of exciting discount opportunities in November and December in partnership with Daraz, South Asia’s largest ecommerce platform.

From Saturday, 11 to Friday 17 November, all purchases by Commercial Bank Credit Card holders will be eligible for a site-wide 10% discount under the Daraz 11.11 promotion. Simultaneously, Commercial Debit Card holders will enjoy a 10% discount on purchases of grocery and fashion items during the same period.

One week later, on Friday 24 November, the day commonly referred to as “Black Friday” across the USA, all purchases site-wide by Commercial Bank Credit Card holders will receive an extra 10% off to celebrate the official start to the festive shopping season.

For those whose appetite for shopping has still not been satisfied, a grand Christmas sale offers another 10% discount on groceries and fashion items purchased with Commercial Bank Credit Cards on 24 December.

In addition to all of these offers, new users who added their Commercial Bank Debit Cards to the Daraz app for a card transaction between 1 and 10 November were provided a 50% discount on those particular transactions, and would be eligible to receive further offers in the future, the bank said.

The Commercial Bank of Ceylon has been an Internet Payment (IPG) service provider on Daraz since 2018, and has conducted more than 40 promotions with the platform this year.

The bank was adjudged the ‘The Most Engaged Overall Card Base’ for the fourth consecutive year and was recognised as the ‘Best Debit Card Base’ at the 2023 Payment Partner Performance Awards of Daraz, in recognition of the role it plays in generating revenue for the platform. The award for ‘Best Debit Card Base’ goes to the card base that has generated the highest payment volume and transactions by a debit card base.
