The Annual SLIBFI Awards were introduced in 2012 to recognize and honour individuals and institutions for their contribution and performance in the Sri Lankan Islamic Banking and Finance industry. The SLIBFI Awards highlight excellence in the industry and give special recognition to institutions demonstrating outstanding performance, innovation, use of technology and a significant contribution to society. The awards ceremony was held as part of a gala evening which celebrated the gathering of the SLIBF fraternity.  Accolades were awarded in multiple categories which were keenly contested. The nominees were selected after a thorough auditing process conducted by KMPG auditors, who partnered as the official adjudicator.

Amãna Takaful has been successful in its journey of 15 years in establishing a strong position for the concept of Takaful amidst stiff competition from other conventional industry players.   The ‘KruthaGuna’ policy was introduced last year as a unique insurance cover designed specially to take care of the hospitalisation needs of those over 55 years of age. The policy provides financial security and much needed support in times of need against hospital medical bills, home nursing care, cost of cataract operations, concessions on wheelchairs and many more benefits.

Amãna Takaful was also adjudged as the ‘Best Islamic Financial Services Provider in Sri Lanka’ last year by the UK’s International Finance Magazine. The composite insurer is one of the few ISO certified insurance operators in Sri Lanka and operates in three key strategic business units specialising in Life, General and Medical insurance categories. The company operates in 25 locations in the country and intends to keep expanding.(KH/SI)
