The online banking service also supports bill payments to more than 36 entities in nine categories such as telephone, electricity, water, credit cards, insurance, pay TV, schools and rates.
“The new features of our online banking service re-affirm our commitment to customer convenience,” said Commercial Bank Chief Information Officer Rohan Muttiah. “Offering technology that provides reliable, innovative, and customer-friendly financial services is an advantage we will always ensure for our customers,” he added.
Based on a leading technology framework, Commercial Bank’s online banking service offers exceptionally user-friendly menus, and benchmark security and encryption features.
