Our senior citizens are very important to us, as they have contributed to society, and now deserve to enjoy the benefits of their work.


As a responsible bank, we always attempt to identify their most essential needs and fulfill them in the best ways possible.


Since recurrent medical needs are prevalent within this segment of our society, and the trend seems to be moving towards an increase in medicine related expenses owing to the current economic situation, Seylan Harasara pays more focus in providing relief for such needs, together with other benefits.


We believe that this will enable us to support our Senior Citizens and ease some of their burdens”.
