DFCC Bank’s 100th Financial Literacy Programme was marked at the bank’s Kurunegala Branch recently.
For years, the Bank has been running sessions that teach budgeting, saving, and responsible remittance practices. The idea is simple: help Sri Lankans abroad manage their income with confidence, and help their families back home turn that income into opportunity.
The event, attended by Central Bank Deputy Governor J. P. R. Karunaratne and Senior Deputy Inspector General (SDIG) in charge of the North Western Province Dr. Ajith Rohana, also launched “Rata Rekiyawata Aruthak”, a guidebook for first-time migrants. 
It explains how to plan expenses, avoid debt traps, and use formal banking channels safely - lessons that could decide whether hard work abroad leads to lasting security at home.
“Reaching our 100th Financial Literacy Programme represents the hundreds of lives we have impacted and the communities we have empowered,” said Anton Arumugam, Senior Vice President for Offshore Banking, Remittance and Business Development.”
