NSB, NDB Bank join Lanka Bell's payment network

Subscribers of telecom giant have more than 1,800 options for bill settlement.

Two more banking groups have joined Lanka Bell's extensive bill settlement network, giving subscribers of the Sri Lankan telecommunications giant another 170 outlets at which they may pay their monthly bills.

The addition of the National Savings Bank's 131 branches and NDB Bank's 40 branches to the network takes the number of locations at which Lanka Bell bills may be settled to more than 1,866, the company said this week.

Eleven banking groups with a combined network of nearly 1,800 branches and service points offer Lanka Bell bill settlement options, in addition to the company's own network of 60 branches and a dedicated counter at Apollo Hospital.

The importance of enhancing customer convenience is ever increasing as transport costs escalate and time for errands diminishes, said Lanka Bell Managing Director Prasad Samarasinghe.

In this context, the addition of NSB and NDB Bank to the network is most welcome, and would be greatly appreciated by our subscribers."
