Reaffirming its status as the most adorned alternate financial services brand in Sri Lanka, LOLC Al-Falaah emerged as the Best Islamic Leasing Provider, once again, in the annual Islamic Finance News-Non Banking Financial Institution (IFN-NBFI) Global Polls for 2022. 

LOLC Al-Falaah has brought glory to the organisation by retaining this prestigious IFN-NBFI award for the third consecutive year. 

Maintaining consistency in its compliance, innovation and demand-based product offerings has placed the brand on the spotlight over the years. The global winners of various categories listed in the IFN-NBFI Global Poll were announced on December 5, 2022. The prestigious awarding ceremony will take place in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, in mid-January 2023.
