Leasing plays a pivotal role in the lives of Sri Lankans. Whether it’s to buy a car or acquire machinery for a manufacturing company, an individual would always find themselves at the doorstep of a leasing company. According to the Leasing Council of Bankers of Sri Lanka, the leasing industry is valued at Rs 800 billion. Unlike the global leasing market, vehicle leasing takes up the majority share of the leasing services in Sri Lanka.
With numerous financial institutions offering their best leasing plans and offers, how did Citizens Development Business PLC (CDB) differentiate themselves? The answer is simple; they went digital. Given the disruption that was happening in the financial world and their competitors using technology to rid long processes, CDB felt a solution was needed to make the leasing process simpler.
In 2016, CBD and FortunaCreatives worked together to introduce a seamless solution; Patpat.lk. Designed to be accessible through web and mobile, Patpat.lk is an online vehicle selling directory that showcases CDB’s attractive leasing plans for the vehicles on sale.
Having years of experience in working with financial technology, the FortunaCreatives team were able to understand the requirements for CDB’s new portal and within a few months, launched Patpat.lk. The technologies used during the making allowed for a highly responsive web and mobile application.
Currently Patpat.lk is Sri Lanka’s leading vehicle selling directory and is highly reputed amongst those who trade vehicles. Through constant optimization and innovation, we have secured Patpat.lk’s position at the top of its league. Having placed their trust in our team with their vision, CDB and FortunaCreatives are in the works of laying down the roadmap for the next three years. Together, we want to make Patpat.lk the leading portal for customers to get a diverse range of services fulfilled.
