Sampath Bank opens second branch in Vavuniya

Situated in the Northern Province, Vavuniya was often referred to as the gateway to the Wanni. With the war coming to an end, this town has become a major supply location for development projects.

With this in mind Sampath Bank opened its 170th Branch at the Vavuniya Bazaar.  This was in addition to the branch that was opened in Vavuniya in January 2003.

With the opening of this branch on 23 December 2010 at No. 5 and 9 Horawapathana Road, Vavuniya, Sampath Bank looks forward to provide a service that will truly benefit its people.  With a varied product base, the bank is equipped with the latest technology to reduce processing time for transactions. The bank’s fully automated online services also add to the convenience of carrying out transactions at ease.

The branch offers a full range of banking services which include savings accounts for minors and senior citizens, current accounts, foreign currency services, leasing facilities, pawning, personal, home and trade loans, fixed deposit schemes, all of which comprise many innovative value additions designed to benefit customers.

Having made tremendous strides as one of the leaders in the banking sector, its performance was amply rewarded when Sampath Bank was adjudged as the ‘Bank of the Year 2010’ for the second consecutive year by the prestigious Banker Magazine of Financial Times London. 

The banker award is considered as the global Oscar for banking and has been designed to reward and promote industry wide excellence of the global banking community. This award is a testament to the strong management and prudent risk management approach of Sampath Bank.

As a leader in the banking community, Sampath looks forward to being of service to the community in Vavuniya.
