ComBank installs forex ATM at Crescat

The Commercial Bank of Ceylon has installed an automated teller machine (ATM) that converts foreign currency into Sri Lanka rupees at Crescat Boulevard.

The ATM accepts US Dollar and Euro currency notes and issues their equivalent in Sri Lanka rupees, bringing convenience to many customers, particularly tourists.

Customers may change between US$ 10 or EUR 10 up to a maximum of US$ 200 or EUR 150.

"This foreign exchange ATM does not need an ATM card, and can be used by tourists and the public in addition to customers of Commercial Bank," the bank's Chief Information Officer Rohan Muttiah said.

He said that Commercial Bank hopes to install more ATMs in selected locations for the convenience of the growing number of foreign visitors to Sri Lanka. In addition to converting foreign currency, the unit also provides standard ATM services.
