Further, the new technology also ensures the highest level of security and efficiency, allowing customers to improve their transactions with confidence.

Commenting on the launch of PayWave to its customers, Seylan Bank Head of Cards Jayanath Dias said: “It’s great to see the transition of customers are turning to contactless cards as their preferred payment option. With Seylan PayWave enabled Credit and Debit cards, we look forward to offering greater banking convenience and faster checkouts which translates to shorter queues and bring a whole new shopping experience. In addition, the popularity of contactless payments at supermarkets indicates that consumers are more comfortable with the technology and it demonstrates the viability of replacing notes and coins in traditional cash-based, high payment volume environments.
