Our Story

The company merged with City Finance Corporation Limited, a licensed Finance Company (Formally Industrial Finance: Limited) under the approval of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka. At the time of the merger, the Business name City Finance Corporation Limited was changed to Lanka Credit and Business Finance Limited. The word Limited was changed to PLC, listing the shares on the Colombo Stock Exchange.
