Youth is one of life’s precious chapters. It is a special time which is filled with dreams and hopes to own a house, a vehicle, a business or even to reach greater goals through higher education. The People’s Bank YES-E Account (Young Executive Savers), the ideal financial prerequisite for today’s youth, provides assistance whenever necessary.
In view of International Youth Day, People’s Bank declared the period 12 August to 30 September as the ‘YES Green Season’, where customers who open a YES- E Account during the special period will receive a host of attractive benefits.
As a bank that promotes environmental sustainability, the YES-E Account encourages account holders to obtain their statements electronically without the traditional use of passbooks. By participating in the YES-E Account Green initiative, People’s Bank account holders will be contributing to the bank’s efforts towards maintaining environmental equilibrium and sustainability for the future.
Furthermore, YES-E account holders can earn attractive interest rates on their savings through the unique schemes that have been introduced for young savers.
Among them is the ‘People’s Wisdom’ loan scheme for those seeking financial assistance to achieve higher educational qualifications, the ‘People’s Auto’ vehicle loan scheme to secure one’s own vehicle, the ‘People’s Professional’ loan scheme for young entrepreneurial professionals seeking to start their own businesses and even tailor-made loan facilities geared to support small and medium scale entrepreneurs.
Additional loan schemes include the ‘People’s Relax’ savings planner as a future retirement fund for YES-E account holders and the ‘People’s Nirogi’ scheme which offers a range of medical benefits.
During the People’s Bank ‘YES Green Season’, account holders will also receive a host of other attractive benefits including the opportunity to receive People’s VISA International Debit and Credit cards free of charge. Account holders will also receive People’s Mobile Banking and People’s Internet Banking facilities for free.
People’s Mobile Banking offers customers the privilege of performing banking transactions via their mobile phone from any location and at any time of the day. Meanwhile People’s Internet Banking facilities provide banking services and information online with just the click of a button.
YES-E account holders have access to People’s Bank’s extensive islandwide network of over 735 branches and a network of over 450 automated teller machines (ATMs) which offer the convenience of 24-hour accessibility. Account holders also have access to the LankaPay network which accounts for over 2,300 ATMs countrywide.
Moreover, the savings of YES account holders have the added guarantee and protection of functioning as a state bank.
