Payment services provider Small World FS has announced the launch of a new service for the global Sri Lankan community through a partnership with the Commercial Bank of Ceylon.
The award-winning Commercial Bank of Ceylon is one of the leading commercial banks in Sri Lanka with over 240 branches and 600 ATMs.
This partnership will enable Sri Lankans worldwide to send money home easily and quickly from any of the 32 countries where Small World FS has a presence, simply by visiting one of the company’s dedicated branches, a convenient agent location, by phone, online or using their mobile.
Nick Day, CEO, Small World FS, commented: “Sri Lankans employed abroad send home over $7 billion every year to support their families and friends, and to invest back into their home country. This partnership between Small World FS and Commercial Bank of Ceylon will help the community get their funds to Sri Lanka faster and at much lower cost than with existing services.”
Jegan Durairatnam, CEO, Commercial Bank of Ceylon Plc also commented: “Commercial Bank has over 45 years of unparalleled growth and achievement in Sri Lanka.
“We are always looking for ways to improve services to our customers around the world, and today’s partnership with Small World FS is just one example of the work we are doing. We look forward to working closely with Small World FS as we support the global Sri Lankan community’s payment transfer needs,” he said.
