J.P. Morgan has announced that it has obtained approval from the Central Bank of Sri Lanka to open a representative office in the country. It enables the bank to provide its financial institution (FI) clients in Sri Lanka with enhanced banking services backed by its global solutions.
J.P. Morgan first began servicing its clients in Sri Lanka with a correspondent banking relationship with the Central Bank of Sri Lanka in 1985. The new operation represents a key step in building the firm’s presence in Sri Lanka.
Aimed at enhancing its client offering, the representative office will offer the firm’s FI clients a more integrated approach to support their operations by providing greater access to the bank’s array of cash management, trade and liquidity products and services, with a focus on cross-border payments and trade finance.
