LOLC once again emerges as the “People’s Financial Services Brand of the Year”, securing the prestigious title bestowed at the SLIM Kantar People’s Choice Awards 2025 for an unparalleled ninth consecutive year. This recognition, conferred through a comprehensive consumer research, reflects the brand’s firm connection with the Sri Lankan people and its consistent leadership in financial services.
Unlike many industry awards, the SLIM Kantar People’s Choice Awards is determined by independent consumer research conducted by Kantar, a global leader in brand insights. Instead of relying on a judging panel, this recognition is purely based on public perception, brand recall, and customer loyalty, making it one of the most authentic measures of a brand’s standing. Securing this title for ninth consecutive years highlights LOLC’s deep-rooted connection with its customers and its ability to evolve with their changing needs while maintaining a firm commitment to excellence.

In times of crisis, be it economic hardships or global disruptions, LOLC has remained a pillar of strength, stepping in when the nation needed it most. This deep-rooted connection with the people is what truly sets LOLC apart. The company has also been recognized for initiatives that create real social impact, such as the Divi Saviya Humanitarian Project, which uplifts vulnerable communities through sustainable support.
Kapila Jayawardena, Group Managing Director/CEO of LOLC Holdings PLC, commenting on the achievement, said, “Winning this award for ninth consecutive years is a powerful affirmation of the trust and loyalty that customers place in LOLC.
