People’s Bank declared the people’s bank of choice at People’s Awards 2007

ACCOLADE: People’s Bank clinched the coveted ‘Banking and Financial Services Brand of the Year’ award, for the second consecutive year, at the People’s Awards - 2007 organised by the Sri Lanka Institute of Marketing and marketing research agency Nielsen, recently.

As the Bank of the aspiring people of Sri Lanka, People’s Bank takes great pride in being chosen by the people themselves as the leader in the banking and financial services segment.

The voice of the people has been declared, and they have chosen People’s Bank as the best loved bank of the people. Commenting on the award, Chairman, W. Karunajeewa, said, “We feel honoured to have received such an award at the People’s Awards - 2007.

We have won it for the second time around, showing once again the trust that people have placed in People’s Bank. We will continuously work to maintain the standards that we have been adjudged on, and to serve the nation, while contributing towards national development.”

Chief Executive Officer/General Manager Asoka de Silva, maintained that “This was a result of team effort. Our whole staff which number nearly 10,000 equally share in this success, because we couldn’t have done this without the outreach, and the dedicated and loyal service rendered by them.”

He went on to say that gaining such recognition from the people of the country is one of the highest honours accorded to a Bank built to address the needs of all Sri Lankans, from blue chip businesses to small and medium entrepreneurs.

“We are here to provide a strong and excellent local banking service to all customers throughout the island to suit their financial requirements, while maintaining the trust they have placed in us,” he added.
