ComBank, Sri Lanka’s Best Trade Finance Bank at Euromoney Awards

The Commercial Bank of Ceylon PLC was named Sri Lanka’s Best Trade Finance Bank at the prestigious Euromoney Transaction Banking Awards 2025, in recognition of the Bank’s strong performance and continued contribution to supporting Sri Lanka’s export and import sectors.

This global recognition from Euromoney, a leading authority in financial markets, celebrates institutions that demonstrate innovation, leadership, and measurable impact in transaction banking across cash management, payments, trade finance, and technology.

In 2024, the Bank supported over US$ 5 billion in trade transactions, underscoring its unmatched role in enabling the flow of goods, services, and foreign exchange. Its leadership has also been recognised regionally by the Asian Development Bank (ADB), which named Commercial Bank its Leading Partner Bank in Sri Lanka for the fourth consecutive year under the Trade and Supply Chain Finance Programme.

At the forefront of Commercial Bank’s recent innovations is ComBank TradeLink, Sri Lanka’s first fully integrated, end-to-end digital trade finance platform. The Bank’s commitment to advancing Sri Lanka’s trade sector extends beyond technology.

Reflecting on the award, Commercial Bank said the recognition from Euromoney was a tribute to the trust placed in the Bank by Sri Lanka’s exporters and importers, and to the dedication of its trade finance teams who continue to innovate and deliver excellence in a rapidly evolving global landscape.

As Sri Lanka’s largest private sector bank and the first to surpass US$ 1 billion in market capitalisation, Commercial Bank continues to lead in supporting national trade, driving digital transformation, and shaping a more inclusive and resilient export economy, the Bank said.

Commercial Bank was the first bank in the country to be listed among the Top 1000 Banks of the World, and has the highest Tier I capital base among all Sri Lankan banks.
