An investor can purchase securities using the funds in a current or savings account with Seylan Bank or by using a credit card. For this purpose, SAM entered into an agreement to obtain the services of the Payment Gateway of Seylan Bank. The system will be launched on October 7 and will go live soon after. The online GSecs sales system provides an opportunity to investors to buy Treasury Bills, Treasury Bonds and Repos (Re-purchase agreements) at any time, irrespective of the business hours. An investor can also buy government securities using the system from any place at his/her own convenience without walking into the business premises of a primary dealer or a commercial bank. The system will be of immense benefit to an investor who has a busy schedule who finds it difficult to spare time to visit a financial institution to buy government securities. An investor can avoid the hassle of carrying cash because the SAM online GSecs sales system is fully integrated with Seylan Bank's payment gateway. |
