Loan24 is a comparison and information website, not a bank, finance company or microfinance company. For regulatory status and market statistics, we prioritise primary sources such as the Central Bank of Sri Lanka. We show the date behind time-sensitive registers and distinguish official figures from Loan24 explanations.
When a source changes, the article should be updated rather than preserving an outdated number for SEO. This is especially important for licensed-company registers, interest-rate rules, consumer protection procedures and market statistics.
Loan24.lk is a loan comparison and advertising referral website. We are not a lender and do not issue loans, make credit decisions or collect repayments.
We may receive compensation from some lenders or commercial partners, which may affect how and where offers are displayed. We do not compare every lender or loan available in Sri Lanka.
Rates, fees, eligibility requirements and other terms may change. Always verify the latest terms directly with the lender before applying. Loan approval is not guaranteed.
