The DFCC Junior account is a well-recognised savings proposition from DFCC Bank, geared towards encouraging saving from an early age through its Junior Rewards Scheme. One of the key aspects of this programme is the Grade 5 Scholarship Exam Reward, which seeks to provide cash rewards for top performing DFCC Junior accountholders at the Grade 5 Scholarship Exam. Accordingly, several young savers recently received cash rewards of up to Rs. 100,000/- at special awarding ceremonies conducted across DFCC Bank’s Islandwide branch network. Importantly, these rewards were not just provided to those who successfully secured a scholarship, but to all DFCC Junior accountholders who scored 150 marks or above on the exam.
Commenting on the DFCC Junior Rewards Scheme, Aasiri Iddamalgoda, Senior Vice President of Retail Banking and SME, said, “Saving is a habit that has benefits and value across life, which reach even beyond finances and help cultivate a sense of resilience, responsibility, and forward-thinking. The Grade 5 Scholarship Reward and the many other rewards we offer under the Junior Rewards Scheme help cement a positive association with saving in the impressionable minds of our future leaders. Therefore, we are incredibly pleased to have successfully concluded the DFCC Junior Grade 5 Scholarship Rewards for this year, and we wish all our young, high-achieving Junior accountholders all the best in their future endeavours.”
The DFCC Junior Rewards Scheme celebrates every significant milestone in your child’s journey to adulthood. From the Grade 5 Scholarship and O/L Exams to their 18th birthday, generous rewards await diligent young savers. Furthermore, the Scheme also provides ongoing rewards and benefits, including gift vouchers and e-vouchers valid at 100s of merchants Islandwide, along with many other exciting activities, including educational and character-building sessions and competitions.
