Having introduced the convenience of extended banking hours last year for its customers at selected high traffic branches, Amãna Bank has expanded this service to an additional five branches.
Beginning last month, Amãna Bank’s Ladies’ (Colombo 3), Kinniya, Puttalam, Negombo and Badulla branches will be open for business up to 4.00 p.m. on weekdays. Prior to this Extended Banking up to 4.00 p.m. was available at the bank’s main branch in Colombo 3, Dehiwala, Kandy and Kattankudy branches, while their Pettah branch operations continued until 6.00 p.m.
Speaking on this initiative, the Bank’s Vice President - Operations and Business Support, M.M.S Quvylidh said: “We found that many customers benefitted from the initial extended banking hour initiative and wanted the same convenience of banking beyond regular hours extended to a few other high traffic branches.”
Amãna Bank is the first Licensed Commercial Bank in Sri Lanka to operate in complete harmony with the non-interest-based Islamic banking model. Powered by the stability and support of its strategic shareholders, Bank Islam Malaysia Berhad, the Islamic Development Bank based in Saudi Arabia and AB Bank in Bangladesh, Amãna Bank is making inroads within the Sri Lankan banking industry and is focused on capitalising on the growing market potential for the unique banking model across the country.
