• To launch commercial vehicle leasing campaign enabled by industry-first QR-based Inquiry Response Platform

Pan Asia Bank has announced the launch of a special commercial vehicle leasing promotion in partnership with DIMO, introducing a first-of-its-kind ‘live QR-based customer inquiry response System (CRIS) designed to enable instant customer engagement and faster leasing approvals. The partnership was formalised with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) recently at Pan Asia Bank’s Head Office, marking a significant step in leveraging digital innovation to simplify access to vehicle financing for Sri Lanka’s growing SME and logistics sectors.

The newly introduced QR-based CIRS allows prospective customers to instantly connect with Pan Asia Bank by simply scanning a QR code at DIMO showrooms, submit leasing inquiries digitally, and receive faster responses and approvals, eliminating traditional delays associated with manual application processes.

Through this collaboration, Pan Asia Bank is offering an attractive suite of leasing benefits, including leasing tenure of up to seven years, a 0.5% interest rate reduction from the prevailing sheet rate during the promotional period, pre-approved credit cards and a 0% interest installment facility for insurance payments, enhancing affordability and cash flow flexibility for business owners.

Pan Asia Bank Head of Retail Credit Yohan Ebell said: “This partnership with DIMO reflects our commitment to delivering customer-centric financial solutions powered by digital innovation. The QR-based CIRS transforms the customer journey by enabling instant engagement, faster decision-making, and seamless access to leasing solutions, particularly for SMEs and entrepreneurs who value speed and convenience.”

Under the promotion, customers will also enjoy exclusive vehicle offers from DIMO across a range of popular commercial models. The TATA ACE HT2 (DIMO Batta) comes with free registration and free insurance, while the TATA Xenon Yodha – Single Cab includes free registration, free insurance and discounts of up to Rs. 50,000. The TATA Super Ace is offered with free registration, further enhancing value for commercial buyers. 

DIMO Deputy General Manager of Commercial Vehicle Sales Sampath Kumarasinghe said: “This collaboration with Pan Asia Bank enables us to deliver a holistic value proposition to customers by combining reliable commercial vehicles with smart, digitally enabled financing solutions. Together, we are empowering entrepreneurs and logistics operators with tools that support business growth and operational efficiency.”

The promotion will prove to be advantageous for SMEs, entrepreneurs, logistics operators and commercial vehicle buyers, particularly those seeking efficient financing options to expand or upgrade their business fleets.

Customers can scan the QR code at any participating DIMO showroom or visit the nearest Pan Asia Bank branch to obtain more information on the promotion and initiate their leasing applications. 

With this initiative, Pan Asia Bank continues to strengthen its positioning as a digitally progressive financial institution, delivering innovative solutions that respond to the evolving needs of Sri Lanka’s business community.
