Amãna Bank recently inaugurated its first remote ATM at the premises of Fantasia Elastics (Pvt.) Limited in Mount Lavinia.

The off-site ATM located at Post Master’s Place off Templers Road, Mount Lavinia will allow customers within the busy industrial vicinity to access their accounts 24 hours a day, providing greater convenience.

The ATM was declared open by Amãna Bank Chief Executive Officer Mohamed Azmeer along with Fantasia Elastics Managing Director Hameed Ashraff with the presence of the senior management staff from both organisations.

Commenting on the launch of the off-site ATM, Azmeer said, “The inauguration of this ATM will benefit the customers of the bank working in close proximity. I would like to convey our gratitude to the Managing Director and staff of Fantasia for providing us with this great location to establish our first off-site ATM.”
Also commenting Ashraff said, “We are happy that Amãna Bank installed its first remote ATM at our business premises. The main benefactor of this ATM will be our staff, who will now be able to bank at our very own doorstep.”

Amãna Bank’s VISA Debit Card provides easy access to customer accounts from over two million ATMs in more than 200 countries and territories across the world, while also being globally accepted at millions of merchant locations.

Amãna Bank is the first licensed commercial bank in Sri Lanka to operate in complete harmony with the non-interest based Islamic banking model and is listed on the Diri Savi Board of the Colombo Stock Exchange.
