Marking a milestone in its 60-year-long history, People’s Bank recently opened its 250th Self Banking Unit at the Kandy City Centre. It was opened under the auspices of People’s Bank Chief Executive Officer/General Manager Ranjith Kodituwakku.

The unit consists of an ATM and a Cash Deposit Machine (CDM). Self-Banking Units provide unparalleled accessibility and convenience to customers as it enables them to conduct transactions 24 hours a day, seven days a week and 365 days a year.

The unit was opened in line with People’s Bank’s digitalisation drive, with the aim of providing an enhanced banking experience to customers. The first SBU was opened in December 2016 at the People’s Bank Head Office which was followed by similar units that were opened across the island. The 100th unit was opened in Trincomalee and the 200th in Kankesanthurai were established.
