HelaPay, the digital payment method introduced through the Helakuru SuperApp that took Sri Lankan identity to the world, has marked a significant milestone in the country’s FinTech sector by surpassing a total transaction value of 5 billion rupees within a very short period.

While it took nearly two years to cross the one-billion-rupee mark, the fact that it has grown fivefold today reflects the high level of trust the people of this country have in digital payments and the HelaPay brand.

HelaPay was further honored at the recently held LankaPay Technovation Awards 2026, receiving the Gold Award for “Best Digital Government Payments Enabler.” At the previous year’s LankaPay Technovation Awards 2025, HelaPay also succeeded in winning two Gold Awards for the “Most Popular Digital Payment Product” and the “Best Digital Payment Product for Retail Payments.”

These continuous accolades confirm that HelaPay is not merely a payment method, but a leading technological service that has won the trust of Sri Lankans.

There are several key reasons why HelaPay became popular among Sri Lankans so quickly, including the ease of use for any individual as complete guidance is provided in the Sinhala language, the ability to make various government payments, including police fines, very securely and simply, the assurance of 100% security through biometrics such as Fingerprint and Face ID, and the ability to make payments by scanning any LankaQR code available at any merchant outlet.

Behind the immense success of the HelaPay service is the unbreakable trust placed by over 5 million Helakuru users.

Commenting on this unique achievement, the founder of Helakuru and HelaPay, Mr. Dhanika Perera, stated:

“Surpassing the 5 billion rupee limit is not just a number; it is the trust our users have placed in us. Through Helakuru, we constantly strive to make the lives of our country’s people easier with digital technology. With HelaPay, we are prepared to bring many more innovative experiences to you in the future.”

Advancing day by day while innovating Sri Lankan digital payments, HelaPay is ready to introduce many more revolutionary changes and services. Therefore, the Helakuru and HelaPay team invites you to join HelaPay to experience the simplest and easiest digital transaction world in Sri Lanka!
