Pan Asia Bank offers 8% for savings accounts

Pan Asia Bank offers the highest interest rate of 8 percent (AER 8.33 percent) for savings deposits through its flagship savings product ‘Champion Saver’.

The account holder will receive 3.5 percent interest for deposits between Rs 25,000 to Rs 50,000 and a rate of 5.5 percent for deposits between Rs 50,000 to 300,000. For the balances above Rs 300,000, an interest rate of 8 percent is paid. 
With Champion Saver, the account holder can either opt for a pass book or a monthly statement.
Apart from the higher interest rate, a Champion Saver account holder will also enjoy a host of other benefits such as a VISA debit card, SMS banking facility, internet banking facility and standing order facility. 
Sri Lankan residents over 18 years of age or foreign personnel with resident visa status can either walk in to any of the Pan Asia Bank’s 80 branch network spread across the country to open a Champion Saver account.
Pan Asia Bank strong performance and stability is underscored by the BBB rating by Fitch Ratings Lanka Limited. Pan Asia Bank was also adjudged as the fastest growing commercial bank in Sri Lanka in 2015 by United Kingdom’s Global Banking and Finance Review.
