NDB Bank officially launched its NDB-SSC Affinity Card last week at an event held at the Singhalese Sports Club (SSC) premises, marking the culmination of a strategic partnership between two esteemed institutions.

The NDB-SSC Affinity Credit Card is designed to offer a range of exclusive benefits to SSC’s approximately 7,000 registered members. This includes personalised co-branded credit cards, exclusive benefits at SSC with up to 20% cash back at SSC restaurants, a wide network of merchant partnerships, airport lounge memberships, complimentary travel insurance, and more. Additionally, SSC members will have access to 0% installment payment plans for membership fees and automated bill settlement facilities for annual membership fees, ensuring convenience.

The highlight of the evening was the presentation of the first five NDB-SSC Affinity Cards to members of the SSC Exco. ---  I. S. De Silva- President, Vasantha Wijesekera (Hon Secretary), Nilanka Pieris (Hon Treasurer), Ranjith Pandithage (Incoming president) and Dimuth Karunarathne (National Cricketer).

Addressing the audience, NDB CEO Kelum Edirisinghe highlighted the union of these two entities, each renowned for their commitment to excellence. He went on to congratulate SSC on its 125th anniversary, paralleling the club's enduring excellence in sports with NDB Bank's longstanding tradition of excellence in banking. "Our values of integrity, innovation, and community engagement have been the pillars of our success, and this partnership is a testament to our shared values," he added.

SSC President I. S. De Silva said: “I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to NDB Bank for organising this splendid event. This partnership represents a shared commitment to excellence and innovation. We envision this partnership to be a beacon of success; together, we aim to elevate the SSC membership experience to new heights, ensuring that our legacy of sporting excellence continues to thrive.”
