Financial Services

The overarching objective of our venture into financial services is to bring greater prosperity to the masses, progressively transforming Sri Lanka into a middle-income economy. We began with a joint venture with Mercantile Merchant Bank in 2006 to establish MMBL Money Transfer (Pvt) Ltd., to become the largest principal agent for Western Union money transfers in Sri Lanka. Today, we boast of a nationwide network of over 2,000 outlets.

We also became the only Central Bank approved non-banking institution in Sri Lanka to provide outward remittances for expatriates working and residing in Sri Lanka.
