Seylan Bank Partners with HelpAge Sri Lanka to Host Senior Citizens Medical Camp in Wennappuwa

Seylan Bank PLC, the Bank with a Heart, through its Seylan Harasara Senior Citizens Savings Account, partnered exclusively with HelpAge Sri Lanka to conduct a Senior Citizens Medical Camp at St. Rita’s Church, Wennappuwa, on the 27th of July 2025.

HelpAge Sri Lanka is a leading non-governmental organisation dedicated to enhancing the lives of the elderly across the country.


Its mission focuses on improving health, advocating for the rights of senior citizens, and fostering social inclusion.


HelpAge Sri Lanka’s purpose strongly aligns with the
Seylan Harasara Senior Citizens Savings Account, a comprehensive financial solution designed to empower senior citizens with benefits that go beyond traditional banking.

The exclusive collaboration between Seylan Bank and HelpAge brings two organisations together with a shared vision of promoting dignity, health, and security for Sri Lanka’s elderly population.


By integrating
Seylan Bank’s financial empowerment initiatives with HelpAge’s commitment to care and advocacy, the event aimed to support senior citizens holistically – both financially and physically.

Senior citizens attending the medical camp, received free medical check-ups conducted by qualified healthcare professionals and benefited from complimentary spectacles provided to those in need, helping to address one of the most common health challenges faced by the elderly – vision impairment.

Commenting on the initiative, Asiri Abhayaratne, Assistant General Manager – Marketing and Sales, Seylan Bank, said


“At
Seylan Bank, we believe that a person’s retirement years should be lived with peace of mind, dignity, and independence.


Through
Seylan Harasara, we aim to provide not just a savings account, but a complete financial solution tailored for senior citizens.


Partnering with HelpAge for this medical camp allowed us to extend both healthcare and financial empowerment to our elders, helping them power through their golden years with confidence.”

Beyond healthcare, the event allowed Seylan Bank to raise awareness about the Seylan Harasara Senior Citizens Savings Account.


The product offers a range of unique advantages, including the
Harasara Debit Card with exclusive discounts at Asiri Hospitals, Vision Care, Vijitha Yapa Bookshops and Seasonal Promotions.

Harasara account holders are also entitled to an Annual Medical Reward, recognizing their continued relationship with the Bank.


In addition, they can access Pension Loans, offering greater financial flexibility to meet their evolving needs.

The Seylan Mega Rewards scheme will also add to the benefits, with rewards for the account holder’s 60th Birthday, Retirement, Wedding Anniversaries and Surgery reimbursements.


Additionally, the Bank promoted
Seylan Remittances within the Wennappuwa area, enabling senior citizens to receive funds with security and ease from loved ones living abroad.

The partnership reflects Seylan Bank’s continued commitment to supporting the communities it serves.


By combining healthcare access with thoughtfully structured financial solutions, the Bank aims to ensure that Sri Lankan elders enjoy a better quality of life, one where they can remain active, independent, and confident in their retirement.
