Sri Lanka, March 03, 2012– With the successful implementation of 3i Infotech’s AMLock™ Anti Money Laundering (AML) software at Sampath Bank PLC, the bank has the distinction of being the first major bank in Sri Lanka to be AML compliant. This achievement not only places Sampath Bank as a pioneer in this field among its peers in the country, but is also likely to give the bank reputational advantage for correspondent banking in markets outside of Sri Lanka.
Mr. Aravinda Perera, Managing Director, Sampath Bank PLC., said, “We owe it to our customers to choose only the best in an important area such as Anti Money Laundering. We therefore chose AMLock™ from 3i Infotech, because of its strong credentials and technical strengths, strong presence in the subcontinent, compliance to Sri Lankan regulation and an impressive customer base. With its successful and timely implementation, we have taken one more step to enhancing customer confidence in us. We reaffirm our quest to upgrading our technological capabilities even further, to be able to deliver more efficiently to our customers.”
Mr. Narayan V, Region Head – South Asia, 3i Infotech said, “With the successful implementation of our AMLock™ AML solution at Sampath Bank, we are happy to have delivered on our commitment, which has enabled our valued customer to meet this important compliance milestone. This also reiterates our commitment to the BFSI market in Sri Lanka. Already having a string of successful AML engagements in this market over the past two years, we are now also looking to launch our other premium banking and financial solutions in Sri Lanka.”
Sampath Bank chose 3i Infotech’s AMLock™ AML software based on a rigorous selection and due diligence process initiated by a consortium of 13 banks in Sri Lanka and facilitated by the Sri Lanka Bankers Association (SLBA). Not surprisingly, 3i Infotech has since also acquired orders from other reputed banks in Sri Lanka for their AML software solution and currently has a fair presence in Sri Lanka.
