Bank of Ceylon (BOC) has once again secured the coveted title of SLIM Kantar People’s Banking Services Brand of the Year 2025, reinforcing its leadership in Sri Lanka’s financial sector. The accolade, presented at the prestigious SLIM Kantar People’s Awards, reflects the voice of the nation, honouring brands that resonate strongly with consumers.

Organised by the Sri Lanka Institute of Marketing (SLIM) in collaboration with global insights firm Kantar, the People’s Awards are based entirely on independent consumer research. BOC’s repeat triumph highlights its enduring trust, innovation, and deep-rooted presence in the lives of Sri Lankans.

BOC continues to champion digital transformation, financial inclusion, and sustainable development, while supporting SMEs and promoting financial literacy nationwide. Commenting on the achievement, Sameera D. Liyanage, Chief Marketing Officer of Bank of Ceylon, stated:
“Winning the People’s Banking Services Brand of the Year at the SLIM Kantar People’s Awards once again is a testament to the unwavering trust our customers place in Bank of Ceylon. This recognition reinforces our commitment to delivering innovative, accessible, and customer-centric banking solutions that empower individuals, businesses, and communities across Sri Lanka.”

With a history spanning over 85 years and a network exceeding 2,300 touchpoints across the country, BOC continues to provide unmatched convenience and financial empowerment. The bank also maintains a strong international footprint with branches in the UK, Maldives, India, and Seychelles.

BOC’s consistent recognition—such as being the only Sri Lankan bank listed among the Top 1000 World Banks 2024, and named Banker of the Year in 2021, 2023, and 2024 by The Banker (UK)—cements its reputation as Sri Lanka’s most trusted financial institution.
