Branch openings: BoC - Welikanda and Aralaganwila

The Bank of Ceylon (BoC) opened its 626th branch in Welikanda and relocated its Aralaganwila branch recently. The full-fledged branch was opened by President Maithripala Sirisena on the invitation of the Bank of Ceylon's Chairman, Ronald C. Perera PC at a ceremony at the branch premises.

Chairman Perera said, "With the opening of the Welikanda branch and relocation of the Aralaganwila branch to a spacious and convenient location, we ensure that customers get the best banking solutions with the utmost convenience."

"With the opening of the Welikanda branch we look beyond providing banking solutions to empower residents in the area by getting involved with agricultural development projects through our SME and micro financing schemes and livelihood development. We also look forward to gradually enhance the financial literacy of the people," he said.

The two branches have an ATM facility that enables 24-hour banking access.

Being part of the Bank's wide branch network of 625, these branches enable customers to connect with any other branch spread across the country. Customers can also enjoy all other retail banking facilities that are available in any other BoC branch including the Bank's online banking facility and its newest 'Smartgen' product.
