• Outshines regional banking giants 

Pan Asia Bank has brought home a major international win, securing the Gold award at Qorus Reinvention Awards APAC 2026, ahead of some of the region’s most established banking institutions, including leading regional players such as DBS Singapore. 

Organised by Qorus, the awards recognise the banks that are reshaping the future of financial services through innovation, digital transformation and operational excellence. 

Pan Asia Bank was recognised in the Operations and Workforce Transformation Category, for its in-house solution FalconEye.

The internally developed FalconEye was a key initiative by Chief Information Officer Kanchana Devasurendra, aimed at transforming the way work gets done making it simpler, faster and more effective for teams across the bank. Solution integrates data, processes and teams into a single intelligent platform. 

It helps staff make better decisions in real time, reduces manual effort and improves overall efficiency. While it works behind the scenes, the real impact is felt by the customers through faster service and a more seamless banking experience.

This recognition stands out not just for the award itself but for what it represents: the Truly Sri Lankan bank competing on equal footing with some of the biggest names in global banking and coming out on top. It reflects a mindset that values innovation, adaptability and the ability to solve real problems in practical ways. 

Pan Asia Bank Director and Chief Executive Officer Naleen Edirisinghe said, “This is a proud moment for all of us. FalconEye was built with a simple objective to make the way we work smarter and more efficient. To see that effort recognised on a global platform and to be placed alongside leading international banks, is truly rewarding. More importantly, it motivates us to keep pushing forward and continue building solutions that create real value for our customers.”

Beyond the recognition, the award reflects a deeper shift within the bank – one that places technology, people and purpose at the centre of everything it does. It is also a strong signal of what Sri Lanka’s banking sector is capable of delivering on the global stage.
