This unique collaboration brings you a new and exciting product, offering cardholders exceptional savings in Cashbacks, Easy Payment Plans, and more with every spend.

Accordingly, cardholders are entitled to a 5% Cashback on all fuel, lubricant and other purchases from any LIOC fuel station in Sri Lanka with a maximum of Rs2,000/- payout per statement cycle. This special, limited-time offer will be available until the 30th of September 2024, after which cardholders will continue to enjoy a 3% Cashback for the card’s lifetime with a maximum of Rs1,500/- payout per statement cycle.

Moreover, interest on the Cashback could be earned when credited to a DFCC savings account, which would be a double reward. In addition to the attractive cashbacks, cardholders are entitled to 0% Easy Payment Plans for up to 6 months on vehicle insurance premiums and other automobile-related transactions.
