Commercial Bank’s Credit and Shopping Debit cardholders can celebrate Avurudu in grand style following attractive discounts negotiated by the bank with leading clothing and footwear retailers.

The bank’s cardholders will receive a 20 percent discount when they shop at any of the outlets of Spring & Summer, Romafour, Hameedias, Adidas, Signature, Raymond and DSI (at DSI the minimum purchase value for the discount is Rs. 1000) and 15 percent off at the Cool Planet, Fashion Bug and New Sriyani Dress Point.

These discounts will be applicable for purchases from 1 to 12 April, the bank announced.

All Credit Cards of Mastercard and Visa, and Shopping Debit Cards of Mastercard and VISA issued by Commercial Bank will be eligible to receive these discounts.

The bank’s Head of Card Centre Lakshman Perera said: “This value addition will provide a compelling reason for our cardholders to use Commercial Bank cards for shopping. The bank has always introduced special discounts during festive seasons to help customers save on their purchases, at times when their expenses are high.”

The savings generated by using these cards during the promotion will be much higher than the one per cent stamp duty applicable to credit purchases, the bank said.

The Commercial Bank has zero percent easy payment schemes for Credit Card holders and annual discount offers for Credit and Shopping Debit Cardholders at selected merchant outlets.

The Commercial Bank’s operations in Sri Lanka consist of 196 branches and Supermarket Banking counters and an ATM network of 413 terminals. The bank has been adjudged Sri Lanka’s ‘Bank of the Year’ seven times by ‘The Banker,’ ‘Best Bank in Sri Lanka’ for 12 consecutive years by ‘Global Finance’ Magazine, and the Best Bank in Sri Lanka twice by FinanceAsia. It has also been rated ‘Best Local Trade Bank’ in Sri Lanka by the UK based ‘Trade Finance’ magazine.
