Continuing its Digital Payments Promotion Campaign of 2025, the Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL) has organized a promotional event in Dambulla with the participation of the CBSL Governor, Dr. Nandalal Weerasinghe, and other senior officials.
According to a Central Bank statement, the promotional event will be held on 01 and 02 August from 9.30 am to 7.00 pm at the Dambulla Dedicated Economic Centre.
CBSL launched its nationwide campaign under the theme ‘Shaping the future through digital payments’, considering the important role played by digital payments in enabling financial inclusion, leading to economic development.
The campaign intends to empower Sri Lankans with knowledge and experience of making digital payments, which is a safer, more convenient, and efficient alternative to cash.
As part of its campaign, CBSL successfully conducted two events in Hambantota and Nuwara Eliya districts earlier this year, in collaboration with financial institutions and other stakeholders.
Banks, finance companies, e-money service providers (i.e., mobile network operators) and LankaPay (Pvt.) Ltd. (LankaPay) – the operator of the national retail payment network, will also attend the event in Dambulla.
The general public will be able to obtain assistance for opening new accounts, registering for mobile payment applications, receiving information on products and services, resolving any issues faced when making digital payments and any other matter related to digital payments. The general public will also be able to purchase a range of goods and services from various micro, small, and medium-sized businesses present at the event and receive exclusive discounts when using digital payment methods.
In addition, individuals and business entities will be able to receive information on the services provided by the Credit Information Bureau of Sri Lanka (CRIB) and obtain free credit reports on demand during this event.
Further, a special merchant awareness campaign will be conducted by financial institutions and LankaPay from 29th to 31st July 2025 in the Sigiriya, Habarana and Dambulla areas respectively, to facilitate business entities to obtain the LANKAQR payment acceptance facility.
CBSL invites the general public and business entities to make use of this opportunity to enhance their knowledge on digital payments and experience the convenience of making digital payments, with guidance and personalised assistance from financial institutions. (Newswire)
