Amãna Bank partners with CA Sri Lanka to provide affordable laptop financing

Amãna Bank recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka (CA Sri Lanka) which enables their students to obtain laptops under the bank’s people friendly easy payment plan financing scheme.

CA Sri Lanka is the largest professional accountancy body in Sri Lanka with more than 30,000 students and 6,000 active members.  As a result of the MoU, students of CA Sri Lanka can obtain financing up to Rs. 150,000 to purchase laptops with a repayment tenure of up to 48 months at a special installment, thereby facilitating students to carry out their studies uninterruptedly online. Non-income earning students can also jointly apply for the facility with their income earning parents, the bank said in a media release.

Commenting on this collaboration, Chief Executive Officer of CA Sri Lanka Dulani Fernando said: "We believe that this collaboration would prove to be very useful to our student fraternity who are seeking to learn, but unfortunately are facing various difficulties in gaining access to online learning resources due to financial difficulties. Having a laptop of their own would strengthen their productivity and ensure effective learning methods especially during this pandemic where lectures and even exams are conducted virtually. We are grateful to Amana Bank for coming forward with an affordable financing scheme, which will greatly benefit thousands of our aspiring Chartered Accountants.”  

Commenting on the partnership, Amãna Bank’s Chief Executive Officer Mohamed Azmeer said: "We believe that a sound education is the key to a world of endless possibilities and Amãna Bank is ready to help students reach such potential with this special financing scheme.”
