DFCC Bank Partners with NCCSL to Strengthen SME Growth and Market ...
DFCC Bank PLC has entered into a partnership with the National Chamber of Commerce of Sri Lanka (NCCSL), as part of its broader focus on supporting business growth and expanding market access for small and medium-sized enterprises. The collaboration reflects a shift in how SME support is being approached. Access to finance remains important, but it is no longer sufficient on its own. Businesses increasingly require guidance, market connectivity, and the ability to navigate changing economic conditions with greater confidence. Through this partnership, DFCC Bank is working with NCCSL to bring these elements together in a more structured way. SMEs will gain access to export-oriented workshops, financial literacy programmes, and business advisory support designed to improve decision-making, strengthen operational capability, and prepare businesses for expansion. A key component of the initiative is market access. Through the From Sri Lanka (FSL) platform, DFCC Bank customers will have the opportunity to showcase their products and services to a wider audience, connecting with both local and international buyers. This approach aligns with DFCC Bank’s focus on enabling growth through a more connected ecosystem, where finance, knowledge, and market access work together. Rather than operating in isolation, these elements are being brought closer to the customer, allowing businesses to move more confidently from stability to scale. By partnering with NCCSL, DFCC Bank continues to strengthen its role in supporting SMEs not just as a financier, but as a facilitator of growth, helping businesses respond to opportunity while managing the realities of a more demanding operating environment.
