Sampath Bank marks 7th consecutive win at World Finance Banking Awards

Sampath Bank, continuing its winning streak for the 7th consecutive year, was recognised as Sri Lanka’s ‘Best Retail Bank’ and ‘Best Commercial Bank’ at the World Finance Banking Awards organized by the UK-based World Finance magazine.

Sampath Bank is the only Sri Lankan bank to have been recognized at this year’s event and the only bank in the country to have received both these awards every year since 2014, it said in a media release.

The two awards from World Finance join a line-up of awards and accolades conferred upon the bank at some of the most pre-eminent forums in Sri Lanka and around the world. 

“We are honoured to be recognized amongst the world’s best banking and financial service providers at the World Finance Banking Awards. We are especially delighted about being the only Sri Lankan bank to win both the ‘Best Retail Bank’ and ‘Best Commercial Bank’ awards at this forum, seven years in a row. Awards such as this give us added impetus to work together as a team and deliver greater value to our customers and all other stakeholders,” said Nanda Fernando, Managing Director, Sampath Bank.
