People's Bank celebrates World Children's Day and Senior Citizens' Day with special benefits to children and senior citizens

Sharing her thoughts on this, Deputy General Manager - Retail Banking and Overseas Customer Services Aruni Liyanagunawardana stated:

Children and the elderly constitute a significant percentage of the population of a country. Children are the future of the country, and the elderly are the people who have laid the foundation for that future and spend the twilight years of their lives in peace. Every year, World Children's Day and Senior Citizens' Day are celebrated on 1st October with all of them in mind, and People's Bank marks the occasion by launching many special programs for their benefit.

Accordingly, during the period 1st October to 31 December 2025, steps have been taken to present valuable stationery kits and other useful gifts to children who deposit Rs. 1,000 and above in their People's Bank Isuru Udana Account or Sisu Udana Account which were introduced with the aim of familiarizing school children with the concept of saving.

Furthermore, the children of People's Bank's Ethera Udana Personal Foreign Currency Minors' Account who open and receive remittances during the period 1st October to 31st December 2025, will be eligible to win Ethera Udana stationery sets worth Rs. 5,000.
