The USA-based Web Marketing Association (WMA) has recognised Commercial Bank of Ceylon with a ‘Bank Standard of Excellence’ award at the Association’s Web Awards 2022, at which the world’s best websites in 86 industries were honoured.
The awards, adjudicated by a team of Internet professionals, were based on an evaluation of the design, innovation, content, technology, interactivity, copywriting and ease of use of each of the competing websites.
Commercial Bank’s Deputy General Manager, Marketing, Hasrath Munasinghe said, “Websites have become indispensable to banking, and at Commercial Bank we have been constantly pushing the boundaries of innovation and functionality while continuing to enhance the user-friendliness of our website. This award is a great source of affirmation that we are not only on the right track, but are on par with the world’s best.” Commercial Bank’s WMA Web Award came close on the heels of the Bank’s website being recognised as the top ‘Banking and Finance’ website in the country at the BestWeb.lk 2022 competition hosted by the LK Domain Registry.
Commercial Bank relaunched its website combank.lk last year with new features. According to the latest web statistics, the website receives 6.4 million visits per year and has recorded 4.5 million organic searches and 10 million page views per year. It is also the most visited corporate website of a bank in Sri Lanka.
