Expo 2024 a resounding success
24 April 2024, Colombo: The recently held Seylan Kedella Construction Expo 2024 came to a resounding conclusion, with several of the latest trends and innovations in Sri Lanka’s construction and home decor industries on display. With a footfall of over 12,000 attendees, this year marked the 12th consecutive year that Seylan Bank stood as the title partner for the event held at the Bandaranaike Memorial International Conference Hall (BMICH).
Seylan Bank, renowned for its diverse range of banking products and services, maintained a prominent presence throughout the event. Attendees had the opportunity to explore an extensive portfolio of offerings, including housing and personal loans, leasing facilities, credit cards, current and savings products, and more.
At the heart of Seylan Bank’s participation was its commitment to empowering homeowners. The bank deployed a team of dedicated home loan specialists to provide expert guidance and assistance on securing home financing with competitive interest rates. Through personalised support and proactive communication, customers were guided through the loan application process, ensuring a seamless experience.
Additionally, Seylan Bank introduced Seylan Solar Loans at the expo for the first time since its launch in November 2023. With approximately 35 merchants already onboard, Seylan Bank onboarded new merchants, including Sinhagiri Solar, Elcardo Solar, and CameraLK Solar, at the event. The Seylan Solar Loans initiative aims to address concerns over power consumption and escalating electricity bills. Attendees were offered reduced interest rates to invest in solar energy solutions, aligning with sustainability efforts while realising long-term cost savings.
