Seylan Tikiri champions Mathematical Excellence with UCMAS National Championship 2025

Seylan Tikiri extended its partnership with the Universal Concept of Mental Arithmetic System (UCMAS) for the second consecutive year, continuing its mission of empowering the next generation through education, skill development, and financial literacy. 

As the Official Banking Partner of the UCMAS National Championship 2025, Seylan Tikiri recognized and celebrated the mathematical excellence of Sri Lankan children in one of the largest nationwide events of its kind.

The championship, which took place at Temple Trees in Colombo, drew the participation of 2,500 children from across the island, alongside parents and teachers who came together to witness the extraordinary display of mental arithmetic skills. 

Focused on children between the ages of 4 and 13, UCMAS is a globally recognized abacus-based learning methodology designed to enhance brain development and strengthen core mathematical abilities. Through this partnership, Seylan Tikiri underscored its belief that education and financial discipline go hand in hand when building a brighter future for young learners.

As part of its commitment, Seylan Tikiri presented valuable cash prizes to the 14 Grand Champions of the UCMAS National Championship 2025. The recognition of these exceptional young achievers reflects the brand’s vision of inspiring children to reach their full potential while developing both academic and life skills. The Bank also supported wider student and parent participation by activating special discount vouchers for Tikiri account holders. To enhance awareness, parent orientations and live demonstrations by UCMAS students were conducted at branches across the country.
