COLOMBO, October 2 (ePRESS) – The Commercial Bank of Ceylon reaffirmed its place as one of Sri Lanka’s strongest corporate entities when it walked away with six awards at the prestigious LMD Awards Night 2025.
Last year, LMD magazine ranked Commercial Bank as the “Most Awarded Corporate Entity” in Sri Lanka for the second year running, after the Bank collected a record 115 awards in 2024.

It also has the highest capital base among Sri Lankan banks, is the largest private sector lender in the country and the biggest lender to the SME sector.
The Bank is also a pioneer in digital innovation and is Sri Lanka’s first 100% carbon-neutral bank.
