The award for ‘Tactical Campaign Innovator on the Daraz Platform’ was presented to NDB Bank at the Daraz Payment Partner Performance Awards 2022 held recently at Uga Residence, Colombo.
The Daraz Payment Partner Performance Awards is an annual celebration of payment partners and seeks to reward and recognise the contribution of bank partners towards the success of the platform’s business model.
Daraz is South Asia’s premier online shopping marketplace, backed by global ecommerce giant, Alibaba Group, and has brought together consumers and sellers to create Sri Lanka’s largest e-commerce venue. 
NDB and Daraz tied up together during a time when the pandemic created a platform where buying and selling online was the norm, to provide SME businesses a method in which to sell their products jointly providing the bank’s SME business owners with a platform to sell their wares to the customer without an intermediary between the seller and the customer. Further, the bank has also partnered with Daraz for ‘Cyber Monday’ special online offers every Monday exclusively for NDB Credit Card holders, offering additional site-wide discounts for the valued customers of both parties.
