DFCC Bank PLC and SriLankan Airlines have strengthened their partnership with the launch of the SriLankan Airlines DFCC Visa Platinum Credit Card, offering customers a combination of banking convenience, travel privileges and lifestyle rewards.
The new co-branded card was unveiled at DFCC Bank’s Head Office in Colombo on 21 July 2026, with senior representatives from DFCC Bank, SriLankan Airlines and Standard Chartered Bank attending the event.
Designed for increasingly mobile and globally connected customers, the card enables users to earn FlySmiLes Miles through local and international spending. Cardholders can also enjoy benefits including priority check-in, airport lounge access, additional baggage allowance, companion travel privileges and year-round lifestyle offers.
Customers receive 3,000 bonus FlySmiLes Miles upon enrolment, providing an early boost towards future travel.
DFCC Bank Director and Chief Executive Officer Thimal Perera said customers increasingly expect banking products to fit naturally into their lifestyles and create value beyond individual transactions. He said the partnership reflected DFCC Bank’s commitment to developing solutions that evolve alongside customers’ changing aspirations.
SriLankan Airlines Head of Commercial Dimuthu Tennakoon said the collaboration extends FlySmiLes rewards beyond air travel by enabling members to earn miles through everyday expenditure while benefiting from an enhanced travel experience.
The partnership reflects the broader transformation of financial services as banks increasingly integrate everyday spending with travel, lifestyle and customer loyalty experiences. By connecting banking with aviation rewards, DFCC Bank and SriLankan Airlines aim to turn routine transactions into opportunities for future journeys.
