We are a fully state-owned bank that is set up with the objective of improving the living standards of the rural masses by providing them accessible and affordable credit facilities that in turn would contribute to empowering the rural economy. Strengthening our deep history and roots on the island, we became the public under the name of the “Regional Development Bank” in 2010. We provide direct e
mployment to more than 3000 people and positively impact over 6 Million bank account holders through our 272 service points on the Island wide. We have been created with a view of serving primarily the rural areas of the country with basic banking and financial services. However, now we have branches set up for urban operations providing unparalleled banking services to each and everyone in Sri Lanka. We are keen on empowering our customers in the micro, small, and medium scale industries, agriculture, trade, livestock, commerce, fisheries industry, and other productive activities in rural areas. As well as we inculcate the savings habit amongst the rural people by providing higher returns on savings and fixed deposits, and encouraging school children and minors to save. As a responsible bank in the country, we have understood that women entrepreneurs play a significant role in poverty reduction, human development, education, health, and the nation's development, especially in rural areas. Therefore RDB has taken steps to support women entrepreneurs by introducing flexible loan schemes and creating market opportunities. For over a decade we have been supporting millions of families in the country by providing the financial support they need. As the Regional Development Bank, we are determined to provide excellence and the safest service consistently.
