The Commercial Bank recently opened its 250th branch at the Orion

Bank, Dharma Dheerasinghe was also present.
Modelled on the Automated Banking Centre set up by the Bank at Ward
Place, Colombo 7, the self-service branch will facilitate real time cash
deposits, send requests for account opening and loans, cheque deposits,
access to the Bank's online banking facility, fund transfers, cash
withdrawals, bill payments and provide information services such as
branch locations and interest rates throughout the day.
The Bank's paperless deposit machines eliminate the need for deposit
slips and envelopes, as they have a stacker than can accept and count up
to 200 notes, enabling customers to make deposits of up to Rs 200,000 at
a time into savings or current accounts, 24 hours of the day. The same
machine can also be used to pay dues on Commercial Bank credit cards.
Ranked among the Top 1000 banks in the world for five consecutive
years, Commercial Bank operates a network 625 ATMs in Sri Lanka, the
largest electronic cash dispensing facility owned by a single bank in
the country.
Commercial Bank's overseas operations encompass Bangladesh, where the
