CEO of DFCC Bank Arjun Fernando said, "After 60 years of development
and growth, we are proud about what we have been able to deliver to our
shareholders. We are now further strengthened and will continue to grow,
raising the bar in service delivery and rapidly expanding our digital
reach and footprint across the country. We remain committed to
maximizing shareholder value in a sustainable manner by providing
innovative financial solutions, drawing on the synergies of our other
businesses within the group." Chairman of CSE Vajira Kulatilaka said
that the listing of DFCC Bank and value offered through the Bank's
shares played a vital role in sparking interest in the market,
especially among retail investors around the country. He said the Bank's
share has since developed into an attractive stock for investors and
continues to attract interest both locally and internationally. DFCC
Bank is one of the oldest development Banks in Asia and the pioneering
development Bank in Sri Lanka.
Today, it has combined the expertise of a pioneer development bank
and the energy of a dynamic commercial bank, and offers the full gamut

is fast growing its footprint across the island to service customers.
While focusing on expansion through traditional brick and mortar
structures, the Bank is also developing electronic channels that provide
customers with the ease and convenience of experiencing banking while
on-the-go.

park management, information technology, investment banking and wealth
