LNP – Sampath Bank ranked LMD’s ‘Most Respected Entities in Sri Lanka’

Sampath Bank has been ranked 5th in LMD’s Most Respected Entities in Sri Lanka 2021 rankings based on a survey commissioned and conceptualized by LMD and conducted by Nielsen.

The rankings are based on ratings received from a sample of 800 respondents – managers and above – from listed companies on a set of 12 different attributes.

Continuing its steady year-on-year rise in one of the country’s most prestigious corporate leaderboards, the Bank has moved up from 9th place in 2018 to 5th place in 2021, despite challenging market conditions during this period.

Furthermore, Sampath Bank has emerged as the highest rated bank in nine out of 12 of the attributes surveyed for this year’s rankings, viz., Corporate Culture, Dynamism, Honesty, HR and People Management, Innovation, Management Profile, National Perspective, Quality Consciousness and Vision. The Bank has been ranked ahead of larger, older players in the banking industry in these areas.

These outstanding ratings given to Sampath Bank by representatives of some of the country’s leading enterprises are a testament to the high esteem in which the corporate sector and the nation at large holds the Bank. This is shaped largely by the Bank’s steadfast commitment to delivering greater value to the nation through its focus on innovation and service excellence.

“We are honoured to see our peers in corporate Sri Lanka rate us amongst the Top 5 Most Respected Entities in the country. It is our honour to emerge as the highest rated bank in 9 out of 12 attributes being surveyed. Earlier this year, we were ranked as Sri Lanka’s ‘Most Loved Bank Brand.’ We are grateful to our customers, business partners and the nation at large for their love, respect, and trust,” said Nanda Fernando, Managing Director, Sampath Bank.

Continuing to transform the market and deliver greater value to all stakeholders through its novel financial solutions, Sampath Bank has earned the trust and respect of consumers and businesses across the island. This can be seen in its steady rise across the multitude of corporate leaderboards that it is featured on. Most recently, Sampath Bank was recognized as Sri Lanka’s ‘Best Retail Bank’ and ‘Best Commercial Bank’ for the 8th consecutive year at the esteemed World Finance Banking Awards organized by the World Finance magazine based in the UK.
