CEOs of companies that are members of the International Chamber of Commerce Sri Lanka (ICCSL) have been accorded ‘Elite’ customer status by the Commercial Bank of Ceylon, consequent to the Bank joining the ICCSL as the Exclusive Banking Partner for its ‘Discount Retail Card’ for members.

Additionally, the Bank will offer them a range of deposits, advances and investment opportunities tailor-made for this segment, personalised service when they visit Commercial Bank branches and year-round discounts and lifestyle offers on their Credit and Debit Cards.
