NDB Bank strengthens Dubai remittance support

• To deliver comprehensive remittance solutions

NDB Bank has strengthened its presence in Dubai with the appointment of Akila Bogahawatta as its dedicated remittance representative, underscoring the bank’s commitment to Sri Lankan expatriates in the UAE. 

Bogahawatta will serve as a one-stop liaison for all NDB remittance services, helping the customers select the fastest and most cost-effective channels to send money home.

“Sri Lankans in the UAE depend on reliable remittances to support the loved ones and build financial security back home,” said Bogahawatta. 

“I look forward to guiding our customers through every step of the process, ensuring they benefit from NDB’s speed, transparency and dedicated support.”

Sri Lankans in Dubai can reach Bogahawatta on WhatsApp at +971 505 707 866 or by phone during UAE business hours. They may also visit NDB’s branches in Sri Lanka, authorised agent locations or log in to NEOS mobile banking to explore the full range of remittance services that power families and communities across the island.

NDB offers multiple remittance options to suit everyone’s needs. Through Western Union, the senders can arrange instant cash pickups at any NDB branch or authorised agent such as Singer (Sri Lanka) PLC, Regional Development Bank, Sarvodaya Development Finance and CDB Finance, simply by providing a Money Transfer Control Number and valid ID. For direct account credits, NDB Qik Remittance delivers funds securely to any NDB or third-party bank account in Sri Lanka, complete with real-time confirmation and minimal paperwork.

To reach the customers in over 200 countries, NDB partners with global networks including Federal Exchange, UREMIT, Mastercard, Instant Cash and Mondial Bony Service. These collaborations ensure that remitters can choose their preferred provider and track each transaction from the sender to beneficiary via SMS or email updates.
