SeylanTikiri Creative Till competition extended

In keeping with Seylan Bank's aim of promoting the savings habit among children, a 'Creative Till competition' has been launched for children below 10. This is the first competition of its kind organized by any Bank in the island, and will reward the main winners with a package tour to the Dreamworld theme park in Thailand. The competition consists of two aspects.

Due to numerous requests, especially from schools where the bank maintains students savings centres, the deadline for the competition has been extended till September 25 to accommodate more entries. Completed tills should be presented to the branch where the Tikiri account is maintained. You could also enter the competition by opening a new account in the event you are a not an account holder.

The Seylan Bank's minor savings scheme, SeylanTikiri, with a history of 23 years is one of the most favoured children's savings accounts in Sri Lanka.

The Seylan Student Savings Centres in schools across the island play a vital role in acting as channel extensions in reaching out to the children to promote the savings habit.

While rewarding the child depositors with novel and innovative gifts, Tikiri also imparts and encourages the savings habit from a tender age. Seylan bank's belief is if children get involved in banking practices from their early childhood, they will learn about finance, fund management and practice savings throughout their adult lives.

DGM Marketing and Personal Banking, Seylan Bank, Tilan Wijeyesekera said, "The savings you make today become a wonderful gift for a child's future. The Seylan Student Savings Centres are run by the senior students of the school to whom the bank provides training.

This guidance along with the savings habit nurtures the children and gives valuable insights for investments as they grow older.
