Amãna Bank, Sri Lanka’s premier non-interest-based licensed commercial bank, facilitated the realization of a significant milestone for the Eastern Province by establishing the first drive-through ATM in the province.

This is in line with the bank’s commitment to introduce conveniences hitherto accessible only in Colombo to the regions. This initiative is also in line with the government initiative towards improving financial inclusiveness and the bank’s corporate social responsibility activities. 

Amãna Bank partnered with the Kalmunai Municipal Council in its city beautification initiative envisioned by Kalmunai Mayor Nizam Kariapper. Apart from the establishment of the drive-through ATM, the bank also constructed a state-of-the-art bus stand with a special enclosed feeding place commuting mothers, while also establishing a branch of the bank in the premises. 

The opening ceremony was attended by Kalmunai Municipal Council Commissioner Liyakath Ali, Amãna Bank Chief Executive Officer Mohamed Azmeer, members of the bank’s corporate management, customers and other invitees.

Speaking on the occasion, Azmeer said, “We are extremely honoured to be the first bank to open a drive-through ATM in the Eastern region, which is indeed with lot of emerging potential. We have been in this region for over a decade. The establishment of the drive-through ATM, the bus stand and the new branch, reflects our commitment to support the growth of the business, economy and society in the area. We are indeed happy to have been to contribute towards beautifying this lovely city.”

Sharing his thoughts on the initiative of Amãna Bank, Ali said, “This project undertaken by Amãna Bank, contributing towards the city beautification and infrastructure, indeed brings in great value as well as a change in lifestyle for the people in the Eastern Province. Further, I really appreciate and value Amãna Bank’s commitment in uplifting the well-being of society with the installation of the drive-through ATM, bus stand and branch.”
