Personal foreign currency account

You need the service agreement letter (contract) from the company.
It is better if you can reach to one of (or few) the employee/s and get to know about where are they kept PFC accounts. Because if the remittance comes from a corresponding bank to your SL bank they will deduct some considerable amount. So, do a better research on this and find a bank.
Transferring USD to LKR is can be done easily when you have both LKR and PFC account in same bank. You can transfer money from the mobile banking app just like a normal bank transfer.

Im also using NTB, usually their rate is good, You can send a message to the bank via app, and ask for a better rate, they usually get a bit higher rate if you do so. So when you want to exchange, don't do it as a transaction but send a message to the bank asking to get a special rate and confirm with you before the transaction, they will call you and inform the rate, then they will do the transaction.

Try to get inner circle, or private banking if you your salary is in the range, and get a USD debit card, so you can pay USD directly for your subscriptions, ebay or when you are travelling.

Thanks a lot mchn
