Understanding current market trends and realizing that the best investment returns could be derived with customized propositions, DFCC Bank is providing 5-year fixed deposits with the highest interest rates in the market at 30% p. a, for interest paid at maturity. This allows investors and savers to receive two and a half times their investment in just 5 years. Even customers who receive their interest payments monthly can enjoy the high rates of 20% p. a, with DFCC Bank’s 5-year Fixed Deposits. The bank has also introduced a range of short-term but very high-yielding fixed deposits, allowing customers to make fixed deposits for 100, 200 or 300 days while enjoying a 22%, 22.5% and 23% interest, respectively, per annum.

Aasiri Iddamalgoda – Senior Vice President – Retail Banking and SME at DFCC Bank said, “We understand that people are looking to park their savings for the long and even short term amidst the present economic environment to enjoy a more secure future. Motivated by this, we have worked to introduce the best fixed deposits with unbeatable rates, exclusively for DFCC Bank customers, allowing them to grow their savings by 2.5 times in only 5 years. Therefore, if you invest 1 million today, in 5 years you will have LKR 2.5 million in savings. This is the most opportune time to invest in fixed deposits, as the present high-interest rate environment will not continue forever. CBSL’s prediction of current inflation indicates that the interest rates will reduce in the future, but with DFCC Bank 5-year Fixed Deposits, you can get a guaranteed interest rate of 30% for the next 05 years.”

Underscoring the trust and security that a DFCC Bank Fixed Deposit provides, Mr. Iddamalgoda added, “With a heritage spanning over 60 years, we are one of the oldest and most trusted licensed commercial banks with 139 branches situated across the country.
