Seylan offers edutainment experiences for children

Seylan Bank, the bank with a heart, rather than devoting only one day for the nation's children, celebrates the whole month of October as 'Children's Month' to celebrate the World Children's Day.

Seylan Bank's children's month celebrations will be held innovative activities across its 158 islandwide branch network and Seylan Student Savings centres in schools across the country.

The bank's objective is to touch children's lives, be a partner in their development and instil banking practices from their early childhood.

Seylan Tikiri, Seylan Bank's minor savings account with a history of 23 years, dedicates a whole month of entertainment, competitions and fun for its young account holders.

The branches of Seylan Bank across the country have organized activities focusing on children, which have socio-cultural relevance to their respective locations.

Deputy General Manager, Marketing and Personal Banking, Seylan Bank, Tilan Wijeyesekera said, "Banking is an essential lifestyle practice and children rarely associate themselves with a bank's services as their accounts are predominantly managed by parents."

"SeylanTikiri took the initiative in 2014 to provide the children a month long wonderful banking experience coinciding with the World Children's Day and Month.

Following its success last year Seylan Bank organized Children's month celebrations this year too," he said.

"We also welcome new depositors during this month.

They will be gifted a Tikiri till in addition to the normal range of gifts upon making an initial deposit of Rs. 1,000. In addition to the special gift, Tikiri children will also get definite gifts on their account balance.

This is by far the most interactive and rewarding minor savings accounts scheme in Sri Lanka," Wijeyesekera said.
