Amana Bank, first private bank to enter Thambala, Polonnaruwa district

Amana Bank has further expanded its people-friendly and development-focused banking footprint with the opening of its 41st Self Banking Centre (SBC) in Thambala, located in the Polonnaruwa District. The new centre marks Amana Bank’s presence as the first private bank in Thambala, serving the surrounding agricultural and trading community.

Responding to a long-standing need for a convenient and accessible banking facility in the area, the SBC, located at Al-Hilal Pura, Thambala, offers customers 24/7 access to cash withdrawals, cash deposits, and cheque deposits, ensuring enhanced ease and convenience for residents, merchants, and traders.

Assistant Vice President Arshad Adnan stated: “Thambala is a close-knit community located within one of Sri Lanka’s key agricultural regions, sustained by the Mahaweli River. By establishing this Self Banking Centre, we are pleased to provide residents, farmers, traders, and small businesses with convenient, round-the-clock access to secure banking services.”

“This initiative underscores our commitment to supporting local livelihoods, strengthening rural economic activity, and contributing to inclusive national development.”

Amãna Bank PLC is a stand-alone institution licensed by the Central Bank of Sri Lanka and listed on the Colombo Stock Exchange, with the Jeddah-based IsDB Group being the Bank’s principal shareholder.
