Over the next nine months, recipients of remittances sent via the Bank will stand an opportunity to win 25 hampers worth Rs 15,000/- each every quarter, and 34 prizes that are to be presented at a grand draw at the end of the promotion.
Besides the grand prizes of a Hyundai Grand i10 car and the three scooters, Commercial Bank will present 10 smart televisions, 10 washing machines and 10 kitchenware sets, at the final draw of the promotion.
The 75 hampers to be presented at the quarterly draws are worth a total of Rs 1,125,000. To be eligible to enter the quarterly draws, customers should have received remittances via the Bank in the preceding three months.
Users of e Exchange, Commercial Bank’s own money transfer service, as well as those who receive remittances via MoneyGram, Express Money, Western Union and Ria from 1st April to 31st December 2019 will automatically go into these draws, the Bank said.
Holders of a Commercial Bank Remittance Card – a branded Debit cum ATM Card licensed by Visa Inc. – who receive remittances via the Bank during the year will double their winning chances at these draws.
Commercial Bank is one of the most active players in Sri Lanka in the field of remittances.
One of the Bank’s key strengths is its island-wide network of 266 branches, many of which remain open on public, bank and mercantile holidays, and its network of 830 ATMs, which is the largest automated cash dispensing system owned by a single private bank in Sri Lanka.
Recipients of remittances sent to the Bank enjoy many benefits such as over 65 Holiday Banking Centres and supermarket counters, a dedicated customer support call centre for remittances and SMS alerts facilities once the remittance is received and is ready to be paid out.
The only Sri Lankan Bank to be ranked among the world’s top 1000 banks for eight years consecutively, Commercial Bank has won multiple international and local awards in 2016 and 2017 and over 40 international and local awards in 2018.
Commercial Bank’s overseas operations encompass Bangladesh, where the Bank operates 19 outlets; Myanmar, where it has a Representative Office in Yangon and a Microfinance company in Nay PyiTaw; and the Maldives, where the Bank has a fully-fledged Tier I Bank with a majority stake.
