Seylan Bank celebrated World Children’s Day with a plethora of innovative island-wide celebrations.
Seylan Tikiri, the pioneer in minors’ savings, held celebrations in over 20 of its branches on 1 October and activities will continue throughout the month in one hundred branches for its Tikiri accountholders to mark World Children’s day.
Each branch will be seen celebrating in a different manner including Tikiri carnivals, art competitions, handwork competitions, kite competitions, games, parties and a host of other fun activities for the kids to mark their special day. Seylan’s Kids Banking Day on the last Saturday/Sunday of every month with its fun and rewards is yet another way through which the savings habit will be driven further.
Encouraging and rewarding the habit of savings, Seylan Tikiri Minor Savings Account has always been at the forefront with its innovative promotions and leading value additions.
The Tikiri gifts scheme was introduced by Seylan Bank for the first time to the market and offers a range of exciting gifts such as mugs, water bottles, schoolbags, wristwatches, videogame pads, MP4 players, remote controlled helicopters, bicycles, organs, DVD setups, tabs and LED TVs.
Tikiri accounts can be opened at any one of the islandwide network of 154 Seylan bank branches and many student savings centres in schools. In addition to the array of exciting gifts, interest is calculated on daily balances and credited to the account on a monthly basis. If you have a SeylanTikiri Account you’ll be getting a whole load of valuable new gifts. And you would get definite gifts when your account balance reaches each slab.
Launched in 1992, Seylan ‘Tikiri’ went on to become the first ever minors’ savings account in Sri Lanka to introduce a gift scheme. Consistent savings was the major drive as Seylan ‘Tikiri’ soon embraced thousands of children from all parts of Sri Lanka and rapidly grew to become a popular household name. Tikiri Kids get special gifts as their account balance grows with deposits.
“This is by far the most interactive and rewarding minors’ savings account scheme in Sri Lanka today,” said Deputy General Manager Marketing Tilan Wijeyesekera.
Wijeyesekera added: “SeylanTikiri has kept on evolving and is raring to embrace the next generation of little ones and see them through to adulthood in an exciting manner while saving for their future.”
“As part of our role as a responsible corporate citizen, we at Seylan Bank pay great attention to building this habit among our young generation, hence our drive to make it second nature among the children and youth of Sri Lanka.
“Today, 22 years after the launch of Tikiri, with hundreds of thousands of junior savers across the country, Seylan Tikiri is proud to take the lead and usher in a generation of savings-oriented adults for a more prosperous tomorrow.”
