The sixth consecutive draw of NSB UTrust ‘Cash from there, Gifts from here’ Program, organized annually by National Savings Bank (NSB) targeting its overseas customers, was held recently at the Head Office of the Bank.
Addressing the gathering, Keasila Jayawardena, the Chairperson of NSB, who graced the occasion as the Chief Guest, observed that most of the Sri Lankan customers, when dealing with financial institutions, are concerned mostly about the returns and pay less or no attention to the safety of their hard-earned money. Under such circumstances, NSB is always committed to ensure returns as well as the safety equally for the customers.
Therefore, most of the migrant workers who contribute to the development of the country with an annual foreign exchange of Rs. 7 billion approximately and many of the Si Lankan people residing in the country have joined hands with NSB with a higher assurance of safety and security. The Chairperson also said that the Bank actively contributes towards the development of the country by annually granting 60% of the total deposits received by the Bank to the Government.
It has been proposed to offer an array of attractive benefits for the women through ‘Sthree’ Savings Account introduced by NSB exclusively for the women and it would help them to be independent and freed from the dependent mentality.
Amitha Rathnayake, the Actg. General Manager/CEO of the Bank, addressing the gathering, has reflected that Sri Lankans who are employed abroad make a tremendous contribution towards the economy and deposit mobilization in Sri Lanka and the Bank, during this post Covid-19 period, has already implemented a comprehensive program for their betterment, under the guidance of the Government.
This draw was held to select 150 customers offering valuable gifts among the customers who received money from abroad via the Bank’s remittance service, NSB UTrust. Director, Jayantha Perera, Senior Deputy General Managers, K. Raveendran and Kithsiri Wijerathne, Deputy General Managers, Jeewani Goonesekera, Devika Silva, Gamini Jayaweera, Senior Superintendent of Police, Jayantha Athulathmudali, other guests and the family members of the overseas customers were present at the occasion.
