Featuring payment plans of upto 12 months with 0% interest during the month of April, cardholders are encouraged to make use of this offer.
This year, the bank has also incentivized their debit card holders.

Speaking on these festive card offers from DFCC Bank, Lakshman Silva, CEO, DFCC Bank
said, “Year after year, we have made the Avurudu season happier for our cardholders by offering amazing incentives and discount deals through our partner merchants.
