Amana Investment Limited pioneered Islamic Finance in the country and
since its launch in 1997 has been working towards a commercial banking license.
As a result of this pursuit The Monetary Board of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka with the approval of the Minister of Finance President Mahinda Rajapakse, conferred a commercial banking license on Amana Bank recently.
The assets and liabilities of Amana Investments will be appropriately acquired by Amana Bank which will commence business during the course of this year and will be
Sri Lanka’s first licensed commercial bank to conduct all its business operations in complete harmony with the principles of Islamic Banking.
