(PRESS RELEASE) - The Commercial Bank of Ceylon has enabled its entire network of ATMs and CRMs for customers to conveniently register for Online and Mobile Banking facilities 24/7. To commence using Commercial Bank’s Online and Mobile banking facilities, customers simply need to go to an ATM with a valid ATM card and PIN, select the tab ‘Register for Online/Mobile Banking’ on the main menu, and complete the few steps required.
