DFCC Bank, the Bank for Everyone is proud to announce the launch of the DFCC World Mastercard credit card which is now available for existing and new customers. The card is perfect for professionals, entrepreneurs, and businessmen who are looking for new opportunities to enhance their purchasing power.  


Cardholders will be entitled to a wide range of exciting benefits, ranging from a 1 percent to 1.5 percent cashback on all and selected transaction types, having access to specialized insurance schemes with a nominal annual fee covering repayment protection in the event of any unforeseen circumstances, possessing the ‘wallet guard’ insurance to protect against the fraudulent card use due theft, loss or both, locally and overseas.


It also assists with the recovery of other lost or stolen valuables such as a passport, driving license, keys, NIC as well as cash loss incurred and includes a further abundance of local and overseas Mastercard benefits. Customers can now apply by requesting for a new card with a standalone limit or by splitting their current credit limit as they see fit.


Speaking on the launch of the new credit card, DFCC Bank CEO Lakshman Silva stated, “The new DFCC World Mastercard Credit Card is a momentous step forward in line with our vision to truly position ourselves as a digitally enabled customer centric bank. We are proud to bring Mastercard into our product range thereby giving customers a variety of cards from which they can choose the best that suits their financial needs. The card not only increases purchasing power, but also provides ample new benefits from cashback options to specialized insurance schemes – all of which were enabled to enhance loyalty and financial security.”


Explaining the rationale behind this move, Rajesh Mani, Country Manager, Sri Lanka & Maldives for Mastercard said, “We are currently experiencing an unprecedented rise in digital payments in Sri Lanka, and forming a new, strategic partnership such as this will help further accelerate the same, which is also in line with the Central Bank’s Digital 2020 Vision of paving the path towards an less 
cash society.


We are excited to partner with DFCC Bank to enable its discerning customers to experience the convenience and speed of carrying out digital payments 
with Mastercard.”
