Ratnapura is not only famous for its precious stones but also for its lush tea plantations, rubber estates, and spice cultivations. We take great pride in being a financial partner to many entrepreneurs and businesses in these industries, helping them grow and thrive through our unique, people-friendly banking model while also contributing to increasing the country’s foreign reserves through international trade. The relocation of this branch will support these businesses in their growth through our banking solutions. The new branch offers our customers a more comfortable and efficient banking experience, aligned with their growing needs.”
The newly relocated branch provides a full range of banking services, including account opening, personal financing, home financing, vehicle financing, gold certificate financing, SME banking and trade services. It also features a state of the art 24x7 banking zone with facilities for cash withdrawals, real-time cash deposits, cheque deposits and bill payments via Pay & Go kiosks.
To commemorate the opening, the bank, as part of its community outreach initiatives, donated books cupboards to two under-privileged schools in the region, while also promoting the bank funded OrphanCare program with a ceremonial donation from a customer.
Chief Risk Officer M. M. S. Quvylidh, Vice President (Retail Banking and Marketing) – Siddeeque Akbar and Senior Vice President (Business Banking) – Irshad Iqbal attended the opening along with members of the clergy, local authorities, area residents, business owners, bank staff, customers, and other key stakeholders.
