Amãna Bank, Sri Lanka’s first licensed commercial bank to operate fully under the principles of Islamic banking, opens for business on August 1. A simple launch event to mark the opening was held at the Bank’s Corporate Office with the Governor of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka, Ajith Nivard Cabraal attending as the Chief Guest.
Breaking new ground and carrying Islamic banking products to all Sri Lankans, the Bank launches itself through the statement, “It’s Your Bank.”
It stands on the steadfast belief that it is a unique banking concept in line with everyone’s faiths, principles and expectations; it is a Bank that yearns to ensure prosperity and true happiness to all customers through its unique, humane and honourable values.
Islamic banking is in fact a concept gaining fast popularity and acceptance across the world. Guided by strong values and ethics the banking model has shown great resilience during the recent global economic downturn and as a result is now emerging as a popular alternative to conventional banking.
Amãna Bank will be offering a range of financial products and services including Current Accounts, Savings Accounts, Children’s Savings Account, Term Investment Accounts, Home Financing, SME Banking, Corporate Banking, Trade Services and Treasury Services. It will be opening its doors to the public across 14 branch locations with presence in Colombo 3 (Main Branch and Ladies’ Branch), Pettah, Kandy, Kurunegala, Akurana, Gampola, Mawanella, Galle, Oddamavadi, Kattankudy, Kalmunai, Akkaraipattu and Sammanthurai.
