Seylan Bank, the Bank with a Heart, announced its partnership with South Korea’s STAREMIT, enabling a convenient real-time money transfer option for Sri Lankans in South Korea.
The partnership comes at the opportune time when many Sri Lankan expatriates have chosen to send money to Sri Lanka to support the nation and Seylan Bank’s dedicated remittance opportunity makes it safe and affordable to transfer funds into the country.
