„Recognised as Sri Lanka’s ‘Best Retail Bank’ and ‘Best Commercial Bank’

Continuing its winning streak for the seventh consecutive year, Sampath Bank was recognised as Sri Lanka’s ‘Best Retail Bank’ and ‘Best Commercial Bank’ yet again, at the prestigious World Finance Banking Awards organised by the Uk-based World Finance magazine.

Sampath Bank is the only Sri Lankan bank to have been recognised at this year’s event and the only bank in the country to have received both these awards every year since 2014.

The two awards from World Finance join an impressive line-up of awards and accolades conferred upon the bank at some of the most pre-eminent forums in Sri Lanka and around the world. Recently, Sampath Bank was rated Sri Lanka’s Most Loved Banking brand in the LMD Brands Annual listing of the country’s most loved brands. Such recognitions further underscore the bank’s strong financials, including steady profitability growth and healthy liquidity levels as well as its steadfast commitment to customer service and innovation.

“We are honoured to be recognised amongst the world’s best banking and financial service providers at the World Finance Banking Awards. We are especially delighted about being the only Sri Lankan bank to win both the ‘Best Retail Bank’ and ‘Best Commercial Bank’ awards at this forum, seven years in a row. Awards such as this give us added impetus to work together as a team and deliver greater value to our customers and all other stakeholders,” said Sampath Bank Managing Director Nanda Fernando.

The World Finance Banking Award is one of the most respected accolades in the banking and financial services sector, globally. The renowned World Finance magazine has been celebrating achievement, innovation and brilliance since 2007, through these annual awards that recognise banks’ excellence across several criteria.
