Standard Chartered Bank’s SME Department conducts ‘Transaction Banking’ workshop

Standard Chartered Bank’s Small & Medium Enterprise (SME) Department organised a workshop on ‘Transaction Banking’ on 21 June 2012.

The sessions provided an opportunity for the clients to participate in an interactive forum and draw on the expertise and experience of Standard Chartered Bank’s Pasindu Dharmasiri, Manager – SME Transaction and Chamalie Serasinghe, Head of Cash Management Services.

The initiative is a reiteration of Standard Chartered Bank’s pledge to strengthen and empower Sri Lanka’s fast growing small and medium enterprises to realise aspirations for growth in local and international markets.

The workshop covered the introduction to one of the new value propositions of transaction banking solutions, as well as an overview of cash management services including the compliance aspect of transaction banking. The Bbank plans to continue in its initiative to conduct such programs in the coming months with the support of industry experts in order to enhance the knowledge of its clients.

Transaction banking is a fully integrated internet banking service platform addressing all client business banking needs. It offers a customisable suite of online tools that enables efficient cash flow management.

By saving valuable time on business transactions, the service also allows clients to focus on developing the business whilst facilitating 24 -hour access to the bank, user-friendly features, and solutions for vital transactions such as local and international payments, trade payroll, and foreign exchange transactions.

T. Pothupitiya, Group GM, Swift Shipping and Trading, who participated in the workshop, commented: “This was a good opportunity for us to be aware of the internet banking platform offered by Standard Chartered Bank which will definitely ease up the business’ day to day work.”
