Cargills Bank has launched its 2026 Sinhala and Tamil New Year campaign, offering a range of discounts and promotions aimed at credit cardholders during the Avurudu season.
The campaign, titled “Avurudu WasiLitha,” is positioned as the bank’s largest seasonal initiative to date, with partnerships established across more than 100 merchants islandwide. The program builds on similar collaborations introduced during the December festive period, with a focus on facilitating consumer spending during the New Year season.
Cardholders can unlock extraordinary savings of up to 50% across all the essential festive categories. The bank has ensured every tradition is covered: new clothes and gifts from leading clothing merchants, dazzling gold from partner jewellers, celebratory feasts at top-tier Restaurants and hotels, essential homecare items, and even last-minute digital deals on leading e-commerce platforms.
Driving the speed of these transactions is the widely adopted Cargills Bank Tapit Sticker Card. Positioned as Sri Lanka’s first contactless payment sticker, Tapit transforms any phone into a secure, wallet-less payment tool. Customers can simply affix the small sticker and pay with a single tap, enjoying instantaneous access to all the partner offers during the bustling holiday rush.
Kaushi Fernando – Head of Cards Services at Cargills Bank remarked, “Avurudu is a time for sharing and family, and our extensive range of offers across a hundred partners island-wide ensures our customers can give more while spending less. With the Tapit platform, we have made access to these savings faster and more seamless than ever, reinforcing our commitment to financial flexibility during the most significant time of the year and beyond.”
The bank’s diverse card suite - including the Gold, Titanium, Platinum, and the premium ASCEND Credit Cards - all feature no joining fees and competitive interest rates, specifically designed for unmatched flexibility. These cards are perfect for planning Avurudu travel, as they include free travel insurance, personalised services, and easy instalment plans for larger festive purchases. The ASCEND Card further elevates the user experience with its exclusive annual fee-free benefit.
