(a) You may have incorrectly input beneficiary details such as A/C No, Destination Bank, Destination Currency
(b) You may have put destination currency as LKR
The “Save a Baby” account No. 014402160015363 is maintained in USD (United States Dollar) under a special approval of CBSL. Hence, remittances to this accounts should be sent in foreign currency.
However, it is noted that some send their remittance in LKR. When you have selected the ‘destination currency” as LKR or your Banking system has selected the currency as LKR automatically, due to Sri Lanka being the country of the receiving Bank,the Sri Lanka interbank clearing systems such as CEFT or SLIPS rejects crediting of an LKR remittances to a foreign currency Account.
Therefore, your LKR remittance will automatically be rejected and returned by the systems.
This returned remittance will be credited back to your account (less any sending/intermediary bank charges). If you still haven’t received such returned money back to your account, please inquire from your Sending Bank / Financial Institution in your country.
Please note that, remittances sent via Western Union, Ria, MoneyGram etc . which are designated in LKR will not be credited to USD accounts.
Therefore, you are kindly requested to check that the destination currency of your remittance is always a foreign currency (USD or the currency of your country) and never LKR, when sending remittances to this Save A Baby account.
