Designed to empower customers with high-return short-term savings plans, DFCC Savings Goal promises a personalised savings experience coupled with flexibility and attractive interest rates of 7 percent p.a. 
This competitive rate, available exclusively through DFCC Online Banking until the conclusion of April 2024, stands as one of the most favourable in the market. Notably, despite the prevailing decreases in market rates, customers can secure the advantageous 7 percent per annum rate for up to two years, affording stability amidst fluctuating conditions. Customers will also enjoy the flexibility of zero penalty fees, helping you achieve your financial goals faster, using a structured approach you decide on. 


This innovative platform empowers customers to dictate their savings journey, enabling them to customise their goals in alignment with their unique financial aspirations. With the flexibility to set goal amounts ranging from Rs.10,000 to Rs.10,000,000, customers can commence their savings endeavour within one month of account opening, selecting from daily, weekly or monthly savings contributions. Furthermore, the option to designate an end date from 30 days to two years from the outset, with provisions for extension or early closure sans penalties, ensures adaptability to evolving needs.


DFCC Bank Senior Vice President Retail Banking and SME Aasiri Iddamalgoda stated, “We recognise that achieving your dreams involves more than just saving money. It necessitates structure, a roadmap to transform aspirations into reality and optimal interest rates to expedite growth and maximise savings. That is why we have created DFCC Savings Goal as a unique product, empowering our valued customers with the flexibility, control and support they need to reach their goals. Therefore, we invite all Sri Lankans to embark on a transformative savings journey with DFCC Savings Goals and lock in a 7 percent p.a. interest rate on their plans, particularly as DFCC Savings Goal rates may fall after the end of April.”
