Sampath bank of Sri Lanka recently revised its charges on SMS alert on card transactions. It has increased the annual charge from 250 LKR to 350 LKR, which is a 40% increase. In addition the customers will be charged 1 LKR for every SMS alert after the 10th card transaction.

This is an opportunistic act of earning some quick revenue at the expense of customers who are already burdened with massive taxes. No other SriLankan bank has imposed such a fee on SMS alerts sent out by the bank.

Let us all join hands and sign this Petition to show the Sampath bank that its unfair tactics will not be tolerated. If they dont revoke this fee, lets move our accounts to other banks.
