Sri Lanka’s most dynamic financial services solutions provider, Softlogic Finance PLC announced an exclusive partnership with Dialog Axiata PLC to Initiate an innovative leasing facility which will provide free re-fuelling for bikes and three wheelers for a period of one year with every monthly instalment made. The breakthrough service will be available exclusively for bikes and three wheelers which are leased through Softlogic Finance.
Through the new agreement, Softlogic Finance customers who enter into a new lease with the company will receive a digital punch-card powered by Dialog’s pioneering Near Field Communication (NFC) technology; and with every monthly instalment will be granted with free fuel when the punch card is presented to any Ceypetco, IOC or LAUGFS fuel station.
“Currently there are many leasing arrangements being offered across the leasing sector, yet the benefits offered through those leasing structures are limited to bike jackets, and helmet. Our goal was to provide our customers with a meaningful differentiation by introducing products that deliver convenience and value to motorcycle and three wheel owners for the first time in Sri Lanka,” stated Softlogic Finance CEO Nalin Wijekoon.
