Seylan Bank, the Bank with a Heart, has partnered with the University of Peradeniya as the Official Banking Partner for a nationwide series of workshops aimed at introducing G.C.E. O\/L and A\/L students to higher education opportunities, career pathways, and enhancing their financial literacy. Through this initiative, Seylan Bank is helping bridge a key gap in Sri Lanka\u2019s education system by empowering students with the knowledge and tools to manage money responsibly, from an early age.<\/p>\n
Focusing on students aged 13 to 18, Seylan Bank\u2019s sessions deliver age-appropriate, practical financial education, covering budgeting, saving, digital transactions, and building healthy financial habits. Recognising that financial independence starts well before adulthood, the Bank is committed to empowering students with the skills and mindset to make informed financial decisions early on. By embedding financial literacy at a grassroots level, the initiative supports the development of a financially aware generation that is better equipped to manage its personal finances and contribute to long-term economic stability.<\/p>\n
By offering this platform alongside its workshops, Seylan Bank enables students to move beyond theory, building financial confidence and fostering early ownership of their finances. Additional perks, such as seasonal offers and merchant discounts, further reinforce good financial behaviour while aligning with the programme\u2019s broader goal of empowering youth through inclusive banking solutions.<\/p>\n
Speaking about the collaboration, Asiri Abhayaratne, Assistant General Manager \u2013 Marketing & Sales, Seylan Bank PLC, said, \u201cAt Seylan Bank, we believe financial literacy isn\u2019t something that should begin in adulthood. By engaging students as young as 13, we\u2019re helping build a generation that is confident, capable, and financially responsible. Our involvement in this programme reflects our long-term commitment to youth empowerment, equipping students with real-world skills and the tools to take charge of their financial futures. We\u2019re not just talking about money, we\u2019re showing them how to manage it, value it, and use it wisely.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
