Incorporated
as a public company in 1995, and originally known as National Enterprise
Bank Ltd and subsequently as National Mercantile Bank Limited, is
presently re-branded as DFCC Vardhana Bank (DVB) after the acquisition
by DFCC Bank.
With
the purchase of a 90% stake in the then existing equity of the Bank,
DFCC Bank became the major shareholder of the Bank in August 2003
with the express approval of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka to hold
up to 100% of the equity of the Bank.
DVB provides a full range of corporate and
personal banking services. These include current accounts, savings
accounts, fixed deposits, foreign currency accounts and trade related
finances. Currently DVB branches have been opened in all cities
where DFCC operates, except Kaduruwela and Kalutara and a city office
located at DFCC Head Office. This is in addition to the existing
Head Office branch of DVB and the two branches at Gangodawila and
Malabe.
