Fortifying the company's foothold in Sri Lanka's financial sector, LB Finance Plc once again clinched the Peoples Award for Best Financial Services Provider at the prestigious SLIM-Nielsen Peoples Awards 2020.

A trusted brand in the Non-Banking Financial Services sector in Sri Lanka, LB Finance is well-known within the country for excellent customer service, transparency, strong business ethics and financial stability.

A joint event organised by SLIM, the apex body of marketing in Sri Lanka, and Nielsen Sri Lanka, the country's premier research body, the SLIM-Nielsen Peoples Awards employs a comprehensive research methodology to garner insights into consumer and customer preferences of brands that have won their hearts and minds through consistent and exceptional services. Nielsen Sri Lanka uses data gathered through face-to-face interviews with randomly selected Sri Lankan consumers between the ages of 18 to 50 covering all 25 districts to adjudge and award worthy brands and corporates. Hence, the Peoples Awards truly reflect people's choice and their admiration for brands they respect.

Commenting on the win, LB Finance Managing Director Sumith Adhihetty said: 'This award reflects the opinion of the general public. Our success as a financial institution depends on how we serve our customers with integrity and our own financial stability.
