Bank of Ceylon (BOC), Sri Lanka’s No. 1 bank, will offer the Ran Kekulu Gift scheme for year 1 and pre-school admissions.
This program has been launched in addition to all the other benefits linked to this account. The bank offers tills, story books and exercise books under this gift scheme. Apart from those gifts there also is a ‘Cash to Cash’ incentive up to a maximum of Rs. 500 in which the bank will credit a sum equivalent to the sum deposited to the Ran Kekulu account.
All customers have to do is open a Ran- Kekulu account with a minimum of Rs. 100 or deposit Rs. 100 or more in an existing account within the period of 1 to 31 January 2014 to obtain these exciting gifts.
The Bank of Ceylon Ran Kekulu account is the best gift a parent can give a child with it offering an additional interest rate of 1%. This account is also linked with free life insurance cover for the parent or guardian worth a maximum of Rs. 500, 000 (minimum balance of Rs. 5,000 to be maintained for a period of six months prior to the incident).
Any parent or guardian who has opened BOC Ran Kekulu accounts for more than one child will be covered up to a maximum of Rs. 1 million. The child will also get a free medical insurance cover up to Rs. 100, 000 per annum in case of accident or specified 10 critical illnesses requiring hospitalisation more than three nights (minimum balance of Rs. 5,000 should be maintained for a period of six months prior to the incident).
BOC Ran Kekulu account holders are also entitled to tiered gifts on birthdays according to the account balance. Ran Kekulu account holders are entitled to a special scholarship scheme for students who have shown exemplary talent at the grade five scholarship examinations.
Bank of Ceylon was awarded Asia’s Best Brand award in 2013 by the Chief Marketing Officer’s Council (CMO Council) based in Mumbai, India. Brand Finance Lanka ranked Bank of Ceylon as the No. 1 Brand for the last five consecutive years and the bank is also ranked among the top 1,000 banks in the world above all other Sri Lankan banks (country ranking is No. 1) by The Banker magazine UK in 2013.
BOC has penetrated half of the population in the country and currently has 10 million account holders with over 1,000 customer touch points covering all parts of the country. The Bank of Ceylon won a hat-trick for the second consecutive year at the National Business Excellence awards ceremony organised by NCCSL in 2013.
Bank of Ceylon is also the only Sri Lankan bank with an international presence, with branches in Chennai, Male, and subsidiary in London while it will soon expand to the Seychelles as well.
