Which details, and why each one
| Field | Why the client needs it |
|---|---|
| Bank name | So the transfer goes to the right bank (Commercial vs Sampath matters) |
| Account name | Must match — banks flag mismatched names on some transfers |
| Account number | The actual destination; double-check every digit |
| Branch | Useful for slips and older transfer methods |
Bank details
Commercial Bank — Kamal Perera
A/C: 1234567890 • Nugegoda Branch
Payable within 7 days of invoice date
How bank details appear on your ganna.lk invoice — typed once, printed every time.
Payment terms that get you paid faster
- Always state a due date. “Payable within 7 days of invoice date” beats no date at all. No date means “whenever”, and whenever means late.
- Match the term to the job. Walk-in retail: “Payable on receipt”. Regular clients: 7–14 days. Bigger B2B jobs: 30 days is standard.
- Custom work? Take an advance. 50% upfront is normal in Sri Lanka for tailoring, printing, fabrication — state it on the quotation, not just the invoice.
- Late-fee wording (“2% per month on overdue balances”) works as a nudge, but only put it on invoices if the client agreed to it beforehand.
The “account number please?” tax
Every invoice without bank details costs you a round-trip of messages: they ask, you reply, they mistype a digit, you correct it. Put the details on the invoice once and that conversation never happens again. It's the smallest change on this page and the one clients notice most.
