Amana Bank actively participated in the Central Bank of Sri Lanka’s (CBSL) Digital Payments Promotion Campaign held recently in Dambulla, under the patronage of Dr. P. Nandalal Weerasinghe, the Governor of CBSL, and other senior officials. The initiative, conducted under the theme “Shaping the Future through Digital Payments”, is part of CBSL’s nationwide drive to enhance financial inclusion and encourage the adoption of digital payment methods across the country.
Organized by CBSL together with banks and financial institutions, these campaigns aim to fast-track the adoption of digital banking and payments, in line with the Government’s and CBSL’s broader strategy of fostering sustainable and inclusive growth through digitalization. They also seek to familiarize Sri Lankans with the safety, convenience, and efficiency of digital transactions as an alternative to cash. Prior to the Dambulla event, Amãna Bank extended its support to similar CBSL campaigns held in Hambantota and Nuwara Eliya.
At the event held in Dambulla Dedicated Economic Centre, Amãna Bank showcased its suite of innovative digital banking solutions, including the ‘Your Bank’ online banking app, its video KYC-enabled Online Account Opening platform, and WhatsApp Banking services. The Bank also promoted the use of LankaQR, enabling fast, secure, and convenient cashless transactions via mobile devices.
