This chip-enabled Seylan Travel Card allows users simultaneous access
to all five currencies, in any part of the world.
The card will simply pick the destination (transacted) currency to
avoid currency conversion fees to the customer.
General Manager and Chief Executive Officer, Seylan Bank, Kapila
Ariyaratne said that the Seylan Travel Card has a lot of advantages such
as instant SMS alerts after each transaction.
It also offers pin-protected web access for balance inquires and
checking of transactions and also offers free medical insurance of up to
US$ 50,000.
The card will be useful to corporate customers who constantly travel
overseas and visit several countries.
Corporates can also track expenditure.
Senior Deputy General Manager, Retail Banking, Tissa Nanayakkara said
that once purchased, the card minimises the exposure to currency
fluctuations. Customers get the added convenience of an additional card
for use in the event of the primary card being lost or stolen.
The Seylan Travel Card does not need proof of identity to obtain cash
or purchase goods and services.
