LOLC Finance crowned Sri Lanka's Most Loved Finance and Leasing Brand
Trust is one of the most valuable assets any financial institution can earn, and LOLC Finance has once again demonstrated why it continues to lead the industry. The company has been recognized as the Reader's Most Loved Finance and Leasing Brand in the LMD Brands Annual 2026, reaffirming the confidence placed in it by hundreds of thousands of Sri Lankans.
The recognition is based on an independent nationwide study conducted by PepperCube Consultants for LMD, capturing the opinions of consumers and business leaders across the country. More than an endorsement of brand preference, the accolade reflects LOLC Finance's ability to remain relevant, dependable and responsive in an increasingly competitive financial services landscape.
Over the years, LOLC Finance has evolved well beyond the role of a conventional finance company. Today, it serves nearly 800,000 customers through a network of more than 200 branches, supported by digital platforms and agency channels that extend its reach across Sri Lanka. Whether helping families build financial security, enabling entrepreneurs to expand their businesses or supporting individual aspirations, the company has consistently positioned itself as a long-term financial partner at every stage of life.
Its continued investment in digital innovation has also reshaped the customer experience. By seamlessly integrating technology with its extensive physical network, LOLC Finance has simplified access to financial services while maintaining the personalised service that has long defined the brand. This balanced approach has enabled the company to remain accessible to customers across both urban and rural communities while responding to changing expectations in an increasingly digital economy.
The recognition also reflects the company's resilience during a period of significant economic challenges. By maintaining responsible lending practices, safeguarding depositor confidence and remaining focused on long-term customer wellbeing, LOLC Finance has continued to strengthen its reputation as one of Sri Lanka's most dependable financial institutions.
Commenting on the achievement, Mr. Krishan Thilakaratne, Director and Chief Executive Officer of LOLC Finance PLC, stated, “Being recognised as Sri Lanka's Most Loved Finance and Leasing Brand is both an honour and a profound responsibility.

Mr. Prasad Perera, Assistant General Manager, Marketing Communications of LOLC Finance PLC said the recognition demonstrated the strength of a brand built through consistency rather than campaigns alone. “A truly loved brand is built over time through trust, integrity and meaningful customer experiences. This recognition reflects the confidence our customers have placed in us over many years and motivates us to continue delivering value through service excellence, innovation and responsible brand stewardship,” he said.
