Pan Asia Bank is steadfastly committed to encourage Sri Lankans to save for a better future. And what better way to make it happen than start with our children? With an array of fantastic gifts with Mithuru Max or a 10% bonus deposit for every deposit with Daskam, Pan Asia bank has not only differentiated Children’s Savings account from other children’s savings products, but have also begun to instill in their young minds the importance of saving. ‘Daskam’ children’s savings account aims to be a pillar of strength to a child when he/she enters adulthood and takes on life’s challenges such as higher education, marriage, etc. The account offers a unique “deposit for deposit” feature that enables its balance to grow in greater proportions. Under this feature, every deposit made by the customer to the account will be rewarded by the bank with an additional deposit worth 10% of the customer deposit.

The interest is calculated on a daily basis and credited to the account at the end of each month. For example, if a customer deposits Rs. 100,000 to a ‘Daskam’ children’s savings account, the bank will make an additional deposit of Rs. 10,000 to that account immediately and begin to calculate interest at 5.25% (AER 5.38%) on the total balance of Rs. 110,000. 

The benefit of receiving an additional 10% deposit from the bank is valid for any number of deposits until the child turns 12 years of age.
