Seylan Bank supports Hiru Golden Film Awards as official banker

Seylan Bank was the official banker for the Hiru Golden Film Awards held recently at Nelum Pokuna, Colombo, to felicitate artistes from Sri Lanka’s film and entertainment industry. 
Taking place for the second consecutive year, this event is regarded as one of the biggest award ceremonies in the country. Many local and Indian artistes graced the awards ceremony, during which a variety of entertainment acts were performed.
The awards ceremony rewarded many films and short films of 2014/15, while special awards were bestowed for lifetime achievement and special jury awards. Seylan Bank partnered the event as the official banker for the first time because it believes it is an ideal platform for the film industry to be recognized as the premier source of entertainment 
in the country. 
Seylan Bank Deputy General Manager Marketing and Personal Banking Tilan Wijeyesekera said, “Cinema has been Sri Lanka’s primary entertainment source and as the official banker to the event, Seylan Bank is delighted to felicitate the artistes from the industry. We are grateful to ABC Network and Hiru TV for organising this national event on an international scale to honour and award our artists. As ‘the bank with a heart’, Seylan Bank has always been in the forefront of national causes. With this intent, the bank partnered with Hiru TV to stage this 
massive event.”
