Softlogic Finance PLC has extended its islandwide presence to 25 fully-fledged branches with the opening of a Metro branch in Matara, continuing the company’s plan to expand its footprint across the country.
The new Metro branch at No. 382/A, Galle Road, Pamburana, Matara strengthens Softlogic Finance’s presence in Matara to two fully-fledged branches.
The Matara Metro branch offers business loans, group personal loans, leasing and hire purchase, fixed deposits and savings. It will be open for business during weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Many senior officials of Softlogic Finance attended the opening including Director and chief guest Chris Corea, Deputy Chairman Harris Premaratne, CEO Nalin Wijekoon, COO Indresh Fernando, AGM Nalaka de Silva and AGM Fixed Deposits and Savings Susantha de Alwis. Other dignitaries present included Matara Acting Municipal Council Mayor Ranjith Yasarathna and Matara Police Station HQI H. Caldera, as well as a number of Softlogic Finance customers.
“With Matara and the Southern Province poised to experience strong economic growth, this town serves as an ideal location for our landmark 25th branch and new Metro branch,” CEO Nalin Wijekoon said. “While customers from the area would enjoy enhanced and more convenient access to our services, Softlogic Finance too can tap greater into the potential of the region.”
At the opening of the Matara Metro branch, Softlogic Finance launched its ‘Clean Zone’ community initiative to improve public awareness on the importance of garbage segregation, proper garbage disposal and recycling. As part of the community initiative, the company displays separate bins dedicated for the disposal of plastics, bottles and non-recyclable material in front of its branches which form the ‘Clean Zone’ network. Softlogic Finance also facilitates greater cleanliness in a 500m roadside extent to each side of the respective branch by entering into agreement with the relevant Municipal Council for the area to be cleaned at shorter intervals than before.
