DFCC Bank at 70 with women at the centre

At 70, DFCC Bank remains firmly focused on what truly builds nations - long-term investments in people, communities, and inclusive growth.

- 

Among the most vital parts of this mission is supporting Sri Lanka's women as entrepreneurs, income-earners, decision-makers, and financial agents. That vision takes shape in DFCC Aloka, a platform that has evolved far beyond a product into a partnership model for women’s economic empowerment.

A Legacy That Made Room for Her

From its beginnings in 1955, DFCC Bank has recognised the importance of economic participation across all segments of society. But it is in recent years that this commitment has deepened through intentional design. As DFCC Bank reflects on seven decades of impact, the story of DFCC Aloka captures a larger truth - that banking, when done right, can be both inclusive and transformative.

DFCC Aloka was launched as a system-level intervention. By 2025, it has empowered over 100,000 Sri Lankan women across regions and sectors - through access, education, mentoring, and credit.
