DFCC Bank Launches ‘Rataviru Account’ to Empower Sri Lankans Working Overseas

DFCC Bank has introduced the DFCC Rataviru Account, a remittance-linked savings account designed to support Sri Lankans working abroad and their families back home. This new product reflects the Bank’s ongoing efforts to deliver meaningful, easy-to-use banking solutions that meet customer needs.

The DFCC Rataviru Account offers a competitive annual interest rate of 5% and includes a host of features tailored specifically for the overseas working community and their families. These include a free debit card, preferential rates on loans and selected banking services, and access to priority banking support. The account also contains complimentary hospitalisation insurance for immediate family members in Sri Lanka to provide additional peace of mind.

Anton Arumugam, Senior Vice President – Offshore Banking, Remittances, and Business Development at DFCC Bank, said, “The DFCC Rataviru Account is our way of recognising the efforts of Sri Lankans working overseas who make a significant contribution to the country by sending money home and supporting their families. It is not just about savings but financial well-being, simplicity, and support. We have removed unnecessary complexity to ensure their money is well-managed, easily accessed, and used meaningfully. This account is more than a product – it is our promise to stand with them, wherever they are.”

Customers can access their accounts anytime through DFCC Bank’s digital platforms – DFCC Online and DFCC ONE – enabling them to transfer funds, pay bills, and manage finances easily and securely anywhere. Account opening is simple, with a streamlined onboarding process and dedicated support channels for overseas customers.

The DFCC Rataviru Account also promotes secure and legal remittance channels, helping ensure that funds are transferred safely to families in Sri Lanka. As DFCC Bank continues its journey to becoming the most customer-centric and easiest Bank to work with in Sri Lanka, this initiative reaffirms its commitment to delivering practical, trusted financial solutions to all Sri Lankans, at home and abroad.
