13 October, 2022, Colombo: Seylan Bank, the Bank with a Heart, recently partnered with several of Sri Lanka’s leading higher education institutes in order to offer exclusive discounts to its ‘Seylan Accelerate’ account holders. 


With the intention of assisting and empowering ‘Seylan Accelerate’ account holders with their personal growth and educational aspirations, Seylan Bank has ensured to include an array of educational institutes, each with their own speciality so that the needs of their diverse customers may be catered to.


As such, students of ANC Education receive Rs. 100,000 off on MSc, LLB and LLM courses and up to 15% off on selected programmes at BMS. 10% off on registration can be availed at SLIM, 5% off on local courses at ICBT and 20% off on fees at AIC. CMA offers up to Rs. 15,000 off on selected courses while AOD gives 15% off on enrolment fees for Seylan Accelerate account holders. Students between the ages of 18 and 25 with documentary evidence of their study in any of these institutes may avail these offers, provided they make such payments via their Seylan Accelerate Debit Card.


‘Seylan Accelerate’ is a specialised product that empowers salaried employees of private and government sectors who earn fixed salaries, allowances or additional income. The various partnerships enable Seylan Accelerate account holders to unlock their potential through a range of avenues such as education, lifestyle and recreation. Identifying a gap in the market and catering to the financial needs of young salary earners for their higher education, Seylan Bank introduced the education based offers to their customers. 


Speaking on the offer scheme, Gamika De Silva, Assistant General Manager Sales and Marketing at Seylan Bank PLC said, “Our Accelerate customers represent the nation’s youth who have varied aspirations and a passion for bettering the quality of their lives. Seylan Accelerate gives them the freedom to manage their finances independently, so that they are empowered to plan their own futures. Higher education is one of the most important areas in their lives and financing their studies has increasingly become a challenge. We will continuously endeavor to provide our Seylan Accelerate youth a variety of offers across some of the leading higher education institutes in the country, which will be the encouragement they need to pursue their dreams.”
