This is the first time a Sri Lankan bank is using a mobile platform to push information on its products and services, and the Bank's 12 million strong customer base with Dialog mobiles will now have access to every information on its suite of personal, corporate and development banking products.

What makes this application unique is that information on People's Bank could be obtained on demand via a customised USSD portal whereby users could obtain information of choice. In addition, Dialog Mobile will push regular updates on People's Bank services to users who subscribe to the service. Speaking at the signing of the MoU People's Bank General Manager and CEO N Vasantha Kumar said People's Bank has advanced to the forefront in technology to serve customers.

"We are proud to have taken leadership in introducing mobile banking services, without discrimination to all segments of society. Our intention is to provide correct information in a timely and efficient manner and we hope this partnership brings about many fruitful benefits to our loyal customers.

Dialog Axiata Group Chief Executive Dr. Hans Wijayasuriya said: "Our association with People's Bank is a convergence of two of Sri Lanka's largest service providers with the power to enrich and transform millions of Sri Lankan lives.

"It is another expression of how technology and mobiles serve as effective medium to connect multiple social segments," he said.
