Kantale in Sri Lanka’s Eastern Province has become the latest town to receive state-of-the-art banking facilities from the Commercial Bank of Ceylon, the country’s leading private sector bank.
The Bank recently opened its 271st branch in this historic town, made scenic by its iconic reservoir built by King Aggabodhi II (604-614 AD) and rehabilitated by King Parakramabahu the Great.
The new branch located at No. 72/1, Main Street, Kantale, is equipped with an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) and a Cash Recycler Machine (CRM) that will provide access to services 24 hours of the day, 365 days of the year. With the opening of this branch, Commercial Bank’s network of automated machines in Sri Lanka grows to 952 terminals.
The Bank said the opening of this branch will be a boost to economic activity in Kantale, renowned for its agricultural produce, and now an important travel destination.
