The launch ceremony was held at the DFCC Bank Head Office on Galle Road, Colombo, on 21 July, with the participation of senior management from DFCC Bank, Standard Chartered Bank, and SriLankan Airlines.

The new Visa Platinum Credit Card enables customers to earn FlySmiLes Miles through both local and international spending while enjoying a range of premium travel privileges. These include priority check in, airport lounge access, additional baggage allowance, companion travel benefits, year round lifestyle offers, and 3,000 bonus FlySmiLes Miles upon enrolment.

Speaking at the launch, Thimal Perera, Director and Chief Executive Officer of DFCC Bank PLC, said modern customers expect banking solutions to complement their lifestyles. He noted that whether customers travel for business, education, family, or leisure, they increasingly seek products that create value beyond everyday transactions. According to Perera, the partnership reflects DFCC Bank’s commitment to designing innovative financial solutions that evolve alongside customers’ changing aspirations.

Dimuthu Tennakoon, Head of Commercial at SriLankan Airlines, said the collaboration extends the value of the FlySmiLes loyalty programme by enabling members to earn miles through daily spending while enjoying benefits that enrich their travel experience. He added that the partnership transforms ordinary transactions into rewarding travel opportunities.

The strategic alliance reflects the growing evolution of banking towards experience driven financial services, offering customers greater convenience, enhanced travel privileges, and meaningful rewards as they pursue opportunities across Sri Lanka and around the world.
