📈 CRIB Becomes First Corporate Partner of BASL

The Credit Information Bureau of Sri Lanka (CRIB) has officially launched a landmark partnership with the Bar Association of Sri Lanka (BASL) for 2026. This marks the inaugural collaboration under BASL’s newly introduced Corporate Partner Scheme to bridge the gap between the legal and financial sectors. • Strategic Partnership: CRIB is the first-ever entity to join this scheme, aimed at enhancing the "credit health" of the nation by engaging the legal community. • Network Reach: The move leverages BASL’s extensive network of over 26,000 legal professionals across 93 regional branches nationwide. • Key Focus Areas: Collaboration will focus on awareness for credit information systems, the Secured Transactions Registry (STR), and professional webinars. • Economic Impact: By educating the legal sector on secured transactions and credit discipline, the initiative supports a more "future-ready" profession capable of facilitating smoother financial legalities. The partnership was formalised via an MOU signed by CRIB General Manager Pushpika Jayasundera and BASL President Rajeev Amarasuriya.
