Seylan Bank
[edit]Narangoda was a talented high qualified veteran[peacock prose] in the banking industry who was also instrumental in Seylan Bank's resilient performance after the bank saw almost a collapse that would have affected and ended the growth of the bank.[citation needed] The aggressive approach of the bank and due to the unethical behaviour, frauds and allegations of Golden Key Credit Card Company, which was a subsidiary of Ceylinco Consolidated in early 2000s left the bank in a financial crisis.
Narangoda was a member of the team, which was appointed as the new board of directors by the Bank of Ceylon for the Seylan Bank. The eleven member team also included Pradeep Kariyawasam and R. Nadarajah. The team managed to rebuild the financial performance of the bank within a six-month time period where they were also able to do innovations for the development of the bank.[4]
