Special note to Expatriates:

If you are an expatriate it might be ‘too expensive’ to send money every month to Sri Lanka due to high money transfer fees. In such a case it is prudent to send a sufficient sum of money to Sri Lanka and open a local bank account for this purpose. For example Sampath bank gives internet access to their accounts. Thus, if you open a Sampath Bank account you could link the child's account with it and transfer the funds every month over the internet. Other local banks also provide internet access.
