Sampath Bank recently entered into a strategic partnership with GV Auto by Gavinro International (Pvt) Ltd., expanding access to electric vehicle ownership through exclusive financing benefits for customers. Formalised through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) at Sampath Bank’s Head Office, the collaboration enables customers to enjoy a preferential interest rate with a 0.5% reduction from the Bank’s published vehicle loan rate when purchasing eligible electric vehicles from GV Auto.

As an emerging one-stop EV mobility partner, GV Auto offers a range of smart and reliable transport solutions, including the premium Skywell BE11 electric SUV and Keyton commercial electric vehicles. The partnership is designed to make sustainable mobility more accessible while delivering greater value, affordability, and long-term savings to customers seeking environmentally responsible transport options.

Combining Sampath Bank’s customer-centric financing solutions with GV Auto’s growing EV portfolio and comprehensive after-sales support network, the partnership supports the wider adoption of electric mobility in Sri Lanka while helping customers transition to cleaner and more cost-effective transportation.
