Chairperson, LOLC Group, Rohini Nanayakkara opens the new branch.

Lanka ORIX Finance PLC (LOFC) opened a branch in Matale recently. It was opened by Chairperson, LOLC Group, Ms. Rohini Nanayakkara.

Mayor of Matale, Hilmy Careem was the guest of honour. Managing Director and CEO, Lanka ORIX Finance, Brindley de Zylva, General Manager and Chief Officer Branch Network, Ashan Nissanka and staff members were present. "Over the past two years LOFC serviced its customers in the Matale region through its cash collection centre at the Matale Post Office which permitted customers to make payment for lease, loan and hire purchase facilities obtained. Due to the expanding clientele and increase in demand for financial services in the region, LOFC upgraded the cash collection centre to a full-fledged branch to meet the demands of customers," a spokesman for the company said.

Ms. Rohini Nanayakkara said, "Opening the LOFC's branch in Matale is indeed a strategic one and speaks volumes of the rapidly expanding Micro and SME based economy in the central region.

The Central Province has been a significant touch point for LOFC and for the LOLC Group as our first branch was set up in Kandy. Since then we have seen positive developments in this region and we took steps to upgrade our infrastructure facilities to provide a seamless service for customers."
