brings about a greater degree of convenience to its customer base of
over 300,000.

Given the government's drive for financial inclusion for all members
of society, this move will greatly assist Sri Lankans in the lower
income bracket to gain access to digital banking and financial services,
which will provide convenience and greater reach, whilst for some other
customers it will be a familiarization process on the latest banking
technologies in use today.
Managing Director/CEO, HNB Grameen, B. M. D. C. Prabhath said, "Today
ATM cards are essential to carry out banking services. We introduced
savings accounts in 2012 and now with the collaboration of HNB, we are
able to introduce ATM cards to our customers. HNB's commitment to
advanced technology will continue to benefit our company."
"With the launch of this ATM card, HNB Grameen's focus on introducing
new technology to its customers is also expected to bring about other
significant benefits.
For instance, all loans will now be deposited into the customer's
savings account instead of a cheque payment, eliminating the need for
the customers to visit other banks. Customers will also have the
opportunity to interact with our staff and gain awareness of other
products," he said. The company also hopes to connect with the LankaPay
network which will enable HNB Grameen customers to withdraw funds from
almost 3,000 ATMS of other banks, a significant benefit to customers as
it provides an even greater degree of convenience. |
