Seylan Bank PLC successfully concluded its participation as the Official Banking and Leasing Partner of the Colombo EV Motor Show 2026, marking the Bank’s first-ever partnership with Sri Lanka’s largest international electric vehicle and motor accessories exhibition. Held from 26 to 28 June at the Sirimavo Bandaranaike Memorial Exhibition Centre (BMICH), the three-day event attracted more than 17,000 visitors, bringing together leading automotive brands, industry stakeholders and electric mobility enthusiasts.
