Sampath wins at NBQSA 2011

Sampath Vishwa, a unique internet banking facility from Sampath Bank, won a Silver award in the Financial Applications category at the 10th National Best Quality Software Awards (NBQSA) 2011, which was held in Colombo recently. The Bank’s “Sampath IT Change Management System” won a Merit award in the In-house Applications category.

Organized by the British Computer Society to recognize exceptional achievements in the development of the local software industry, the NBQSA has become one of the most prestigious forums through which Sri Lankan ICT products are showcased to the highly competitive global ICT market.

Sampath Vishwa which was developed in-house is offered under Sampath Bank’s TechBanking initiative to live up to the Bank’s brand promise: ‘we create time for you’, enabling customers to make time for the more important things in life. Sampath Vishwa was the only IT solution from a bank at the NBQSA to be nominated to the Asia Pacific ICT Alliance (APICTA) Awards 2011 which will be held in Pattaya, Bangkok in November.

The Sampath Vishwa customers can create their own user ID, giving them customer convenience for banking accessibility, anytime and anywhere, and the confidence of safety and security. Sampath Vishwa also enables autonomous subscription to all the bank’s other services on a seamless connection.

Right from its inception, the Bank has concentrated on changes to out-dated banking practices and instilled in customers the confidence to use new technology which caused a revolutionary change within the banking industry in Sri Lanka.
