DFCC BANK RECOGNISED FOR GROWTH AND PROFITABILITY AT ICC EMERGING ASIA BANKING AWARDS 2026
DFCC Bank has won two country awards at the 4th ICC Emerging Asia Banking Conclave & Awards 2026, receiving Best Performance on Growth – Sri Lanka and Best Performance on Profitability – Sri Lanka.
Organised by the Indian Chamber of Commerce (ICC), the regional awards recognise the performance of financial institutions across emerging Asian markets.
The awards were presented to Anton Arumugam, Senior Vice President – Offshore Banking, Remittances and Business Development at DFCC Bank, by K. G. P. Sirikumara, Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka, at a ceremony held in New Delhi, India.
The two awards recognise DFCC Bank’s ability to expand its business while improving financial returns. This reflects a disciplined approach to growth, with the Bank strengthening customer relationships, managing its balance sheet carefully and investing in the capabilities needed to support future performance.
Commenting on the recognition, Thimal Perera, Director and Chief Executive Officer of DFCC Bank, said:
“Growth matters when it strengthens the business and creates the capacity to serve customers better. Profitability matters because it allows us to continue investing in our people, technology and customer experience. Being recognised in both areas is therefore significant. It reflects the discipline with which our teams have pursued growth, managed risk and converted opportunity into stronger performance. Our responsibility now is to build on that progress with the same focus.”
The recognition follows a period in which DFCC Bank continued to expand its business while maintaining a clear focus on financial discipline, operational resilience and sustainable returns.
