BOC stretches 24-hour banking to Kalutara Police Training School, Open University

Bank of Ceylon (BOC) expanded its 24-hour banking services to Kalutara Police Training School and Open University of Sri Lanka, Nawala, recently.

These strategic expansions took place with the aim of providing added convenience of banking to trainees/students, staff members and to the public in those areas. Western Province South Assistant General Manager Sampath Perera spearheaded both the ceremonies. Respective area managers, branch managers and staff officiated. Open University Vice Chancellor Prof. S.A. Ariyadurai and Dr. W.M.G.K.A. Wickramasinghe attended the opening of the new offsite cash recycling machine (CRM) at the Open University of Sri Lanka, Nawala. The opening of the Kalutara Police Training School offsite CRM was attended by Kalutara Police Training School Director Pushpa Kumara, Chief Inspector Mallage, several senior officers of Police Training School and well-wishers.

With this facility, the customers will be able to deposit, withdraw or transfer money through this CRM, 24 hours a day. These transactions will be updated on real-time basis and the customer will be notified immediately.

BOC pioneered to bring digital technology, altering Sri Lankan banking with its significant capacity to reach every part of the country. The BOC customers can conveniently conduct their regular banking transactions without having to visit a branch physically through digital platforms such as B-app (mobile application), Smart Online Banking, Smartpay (Qr-based mobile payment app), Smartpass book (account inquiry application) and Smart FD, enabling them to save time, energy and resources to engage in things that matters the most. BOC will continue to add value through digitisation, empowering customers to achieve their aspirations in life whilst energising the country’s economy. These CRMS are interconnected to the rest of the 642 branches and other ATM/CDM/CRM machines through a centralised network thus allowing customers to transact real-time with any of the BOC outlet in the network spread across the country. The customers of BOC are digitally empowered to transact anytime of the day with its interconnected 24x7 operative ATM/ CDM and CRM network, which consists of over 1100 customer service points spread across the country.
