ComBank adjudged 'Bank of the Year 2015' by International Banker

The Commercial Bank of Ceylon was adjudged Sri Lanka's 'Commercial Bank of the Year 2015' by the UK-based International Banker, giving the Bank its sixth international award since June this year.

The award is the first from International Banker to a bank in Sri Lanka.

In June this year, Commercial Bank was adjudged the Best Bank in Sri Lanka by FinanceAsia, and received the Euromoney award for the Best Bank in Sri Lanka in July. In August, the Bank received the award for Asia's Best Employer Brand, and the award for Talent Management at the 2015 edition of Asia's Best Employer Brand Awards in Singapore.

In September the Bank was recognised for its 'Green Banking' efforts at the fifth Asian Customer Engagement Forum (ACEF) Awards in Mumbai, India.

"These awards are valuable affirmations of the results achieved through the dedication, passion and professionalism of the bank's employees at all levels, and the loyalty of customers," the Bank's Managing Director and CEO Jegan Durairatnam said.

The International Banker award recognises the strength of Commercial Bank as reflected in the Bank's financial performance, its contribution to the country's Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) sector, the economy and how it has overcome the challenges in the market place.

The notification of the International Banker award came shortly after Commercial Bank was ranked the most respected bank in Sri Lanka for the 11th consecutive year and the second 'Most Respected' corporate entity in the country overall for the fifth successive year in the 2015 LMD rankings of the Most Respected Entities in Sri Lanka.
