Seylan Bank’s Tikiri Gift Voucher Scheme gives kids a wider choice of rewards for saving

7th February 2023, Colombo: In the spirit of encouraging its young Seylan Tikiri account holders on the value and importance of saving, Seylan Bank, the Bank with a Heart, has enhanced its Seylan Tikiri Gift Voucher vendors list with three exciting additions for the year 2023.

Sarasavi, CIB Shopping Centres and DSI Shoes have joined the existing four merchants, totalling the number to seven vendors, to provide Tikiri account holders with the opportunity to experience a wide range of gift options with easy access to vendor locations.

Previously, Tikiri account holders had to choose from a gift that the bank was offering them according to their savings balances. However, the new Tikiri vouchers are gifted for every new deposit in a Seylan Tikiri account and gives Tikiri Kids an opportunity to select a gift of their own choice. Vouchers are issued at Seylan Bank branches for every deposit of Rs. 1,000/-, up to Rs. 2,000,000/-.

Assistant General Manager, Marketing and Sales, Seylan Bank, Gamika De Silva said, “Through our Seylan Tikiri product, Seylan Bank has taken on the responsible role of inculcating the savings habits in children by positively influencing them in varying angles. The Tikiri Gift Voucher scheme is one such example. We identified that children are more aware and expressive of their passions than before. Therefore, standard gifts according to the age categories are outdated. Thanks to our network of reputed vendors, we are able to issue vouchers for an array of necessities that every school going child would enjoy. As vouchers can be used for books, stationary, shoes and so much more, Seylan Bank provides children a range of options to incentivise their saving commitment. The addition of these new vendors will certainly make the habit of saving even more attractive to our Tikiri Kids, while paving the way for them to be financially independent citizens.”

As a brand that lives its values, Tikiri conducts a range of activities throughout the year at branch levels and via digital platforms, providing an opportunity for Tikiri Kids to gain diverse experiences, while encouraging them to save.

Parents who would like to open the doors to a world of benefits for their kids below the age of 15 years are encouraged to open a Tikiri account by visiting the nearest Seylan Bank branch or by calling 200 88 88.
