The Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL) recently conducted a Digital Payments Promotion Campaign under the theme ‘Shaping the Future through Digital Transactions’ at Gregory Lake Car Park, Nuwara Eliya. This initiative, led by CBSL Governor Dr. Nandalal Weerasinghe, aimed to accelerate the adoption of digital banking and payments across the country.

People’s Bank actively participated in this event, reinforcing its commitment to digital transformation by raising awareness about its comprehensive Digital Financial Solutions through the People’s Pay app. A dedicated People’s Bank stall was set up to educate the public on the convenience and security of mobile payments. The bank’s digital team provided hands-on demonstrations, enabling participants to register for digital payment services and benefit from special discounts via LANKA QR. Personalised guidance was also offered to facilitate a seamless transition to digital transactions.

CBSL’s campaign is designed to encourage the public to embrace mobile payment applications, making digital transactions a safer, more convenient, and cost-effective alternative to cash-based payments. The Digital Payments Promotion Campaign 2025 launched in January 2025, at the Magam Ruhunupura Administrative Complex in Hambantota. Through these initiatives, CBSL and financial institutions like People’s Bank are playing a pivotal role in advancing Sri Lanka’s digital economy and financial inclusivity.

People’s Bank’s delegation at the event included Chief Digital Officer Mangala Kariyawasam, Nuwara Eliya Regional Manager Manjula Perera, Assistant Regional Managers, Branch Managers, Digitalisation Department Staff, and Business Promotion Officers. Government officials and members of the general public also attended, contributing to the success of this initiative.

As digitalisation continues to reshape the financial landscape, People’s Bank remains at the forefront, supporting CBSL’s mission to promote sustainable and inclusive economic growth through digital banking solutions.
