DFCC Bank PLC has been ranked 3rd among Sri Lanka’s top employers for CIMA members in 2026, a recognition awarded by AICPA & CIMA.

The recognition reflects the Bank’s sustained focus on building a future-ready workforce through structured learning, professional development, and a strong culture of continuous improvement. Based on the number of CIMA-qualified professionals within the organisation and the level of support extended towards professional advancement, the ranking highlights DFCC Bank’s commitment to nurturing talent at every stage of the employee journey.

At the core of this achievement is the Bank’s evolving talent and culture agenda, which prioritises capability building, leadership development, and a workplace environment that encourages growth, collaboration, and accountability. By actively supporting employees in pursuing globally recognised professional qualifications, DFCC Bank continues to strengthen both individual potential and organisational capability.

Commenting on the recognition, Paduma Subasinghe, Chief Human Resources Officer of DFCC Bank, stated: “This recognition reflects the strength of our people and the culture we continue to build.

In line with its broader transformation journey, DFCC Bank has also embedded a refreshed set of core values — Passion, Authenticity, Courage, Collaboration, and Excellence — shaping behaviours and reinforcing a culture that is aligned with both performance and purpose. These values serve as a guiding framework, enabling employees to deliver meaningful impact while fostering stronger connections with customers and communities.

With a team of over 2,400 employees across 133 locations, the Bank continues to expand its talent development initiatives through leadership programmes, mentorship, and continuous learning opportunities. Employees are supported not only through financial assistance for professional qualifications, but also through structured career pathways that encourage long-term growth and progression.
