The central bank of Sri Lanka has organised a digital payments promotion in Jaffna to raise awareness among government officials, the business community, and members of the public.
This event is part of the nationwide campaign launched by CBSL in collaboration with financial institutions and other stakeholders.
“At this event, the public will be able to receive personalised assistance from financial institutions, including banks, finance companies and e-money service providers to register and effectively use a wide range of digital payment services” CBSL said.
The programme will be attended by CBSL officials, banks, non-bank financial institutions, and LankaPay, the operator of the national retail payment system.
Financial institutions together with LPPL will conduct a merchant engagement initiative in the Jaffna town area for business entities to obtain the LANKAQR payment acceptance facility.
“CBSL invites members of the public and the business community of Jaffna to take advantage of this opportunity to enhance their awareness and experience the conveniences of digital payments with the guidance and personalised assistance provided by the financial institutions.”
The event will be on August 7 and 8 at Cargills Square, Jaffna, from 8.30 am to 7 pm.
