The Truly Sri Lankan Bank, Pan Asia Bank, demonstrated its commitment for the nation by launching a special Credit Card for government pensioners who served the nation for many years, by keeping its brand promise as ‘The Truly Sri Lankan Bank’. The new offering - ‘Sammana Credit Card’ - is packed with attractive discounts and promotions from Sri Lanka’s leading merchants. This card is launched in collaboration with MasterCard Sri Lanka. The exciting launch took place at Pan Asia Bank’s Head Office in Colombo recently. The event was graced by the Chairman of Pan Asia Bank - Mr. Aravinda Perera; the Director/CEO of Pan Asia Bank – Mr Naleen Edirisinghe; the Country Manager of MasterCard - Mr. Sandun Hapugoda and the Former Assistant Governor of the Central Bank - Mr. Dharmasri Kumaratunge, along with the senior management of Pan Asia Bank and MasterCard. Most importantly a few selected government pensioners were also present at the event.
The new loyalty Credit Card for the government pensioner segment reflects the bank’s determination to add value to the customer experience and to support them to maintain a good lifestyle along with enjoying many benefits. Pan Asia Bank was the first bank to introduce an exclusive product to benefit the government pensioners a decade ago. This product has supported the financial wellbeing of its pensioner customers during the pandemic and economic crisis. The Sammana Pension Loan Scheme enables a pensioner to receive financial assistance without need for guarantors, thus empowering pensioners with new hope and dignity.
Naleen Edirisinghe, the Director/CEO of Pan Asia Bank stated: “In an era where retirees were largely being considered as a liability by the society and overlooked by the financial sector, Pan Asia Bank came forward to offer Sammana loan scheme as a part of its endeavor to offer innovative financial products and to cater to social segments that could contribute positively towards the country’s economic development. Taking this commitment further, this newly launched Credit card will further assist this segment to enjoy a good lifestyle through many benefits.”
Recording consistent growth year after year, Pan Asia Bank is strongly positioned as the ‘Truly Sri Lankan Bank’, marking an illustrious journey that has promoted financial security and fulfilled the aspirations of its customers while supporting the prosperity of the nation.
