Reaffirming its commitment to always provide its customers with the best offers and value, the Commercial Bank of Ceylon has announced a nationwide campaign to accelerate the adoption of LankaPay JCB debit cards, offering customers across Sri Lanka another compelling opportunity to step into a more secure, convenient and rewarding cashless lifestyle.
Building on strong momentum achieved in 2025, when customer uptake and usage signalled growing confidence in LankaPay cards as a dependable payment solution, the Bank said this latest initiative is designed to make every day digital payments more accessible and appealing than ever before.
The campaign centres on a limited-time offer that enables customers to obtain a LankaPay JCB debit card with the first-year issuance fee completely waived. Available from 1 May to 31 December 2026, this offer is open to both new customers and existing debit cardholders, making it easier for a wider segment of Sri Lankans to upgrade to a modern payment experience.
LankaPay JCB debit cards issued by Commercial Bank are accepted at a broad spectrum of supermarkets, retail outlets, restaurants and service providers across the country, enabling seamless transactions for daily needs. Cardholders also benefit from a host of value additions, including exclusive discounts, cashback offers and seasonal promotions, while enjoying the convenience of international usability through JCB’s global network for travel and overseas transactions.
To further enrich the customer experience, the campaign will feature a series of lifestyle-driven promotions spanning grocery shopping, retail purchases and leisure activities, the Bank said. Dining and entertainment offers through partner merchants, as well as special seasonal campaigns aligned with festive periods, will add to the appeal. A strong digital engagement component will also drive awareness and encourage greater usage among customers.
Beyond its consumer benefits, the initiative underscores Commercial Bank’s commitment to strengthening Sri Lanka’s domestic payment infrastructure. By promoting LankaPay, the country’s national card payment scheme, the Bank is supporting the transition from cash to digital transactions, enhancing financial inclusion and contributing to the development of a more resilient and self-sufficient payments ecosystem.
The Bank said customers are invited to visit their nearest Commercial Bank branch or access the Bank’s digital onboarding channels to apply for a LankaPay JCB Debit Card and experience the ease of secure, everyday cashless payments.
