Commercial Bank of Ceylon is revving up for the festive season with the launch of Double Chance, a promotion that will offer 24 of its remittance customers the opportunity to double the amount they receive, up to a maximum of Rs.50,000 each.

Every week between November 1 and December 31, three lucky Commercial Bank remittance customers will stand a chance to win these cash prizes, from the total of Rs.1.2 million allocated for the Double Chance promotion, the bank said. 

Recipients of money via ComBank RemitPlus – the remittance service of the bank – and those who receive remittances directly to a Commercial Bank account or remittance account during the promotion period and collect the remitted cash over the counter from a branch close to them will be eligible to enter the Double Chance draw. 

Commercial Bank launched the promotion in appreciation of customer loyalty, to encourage direct remittances to the bank and to popularise the benefits of using the bank’s RemitPlus app and Remittance Card. The cash prizes due to the lucky winners of the weekly draws will be credited to their Commercial Bank accounts on the same day of the draw. Winners with no Commercial Bank account will be instructed to open an account with the bank to which the prize money will be credited immediately.

The bank said it will publish details of winners on its social media platforms as well as the bank’s RemitPlus app.
