HUTCH, Sri Lanka’s fastest growing 3G network, has enhanced convenience for their customers by enabling online recharge now through Sampath Vishwa. This feature is an extension of the existing online recharge facility already available to Hutch customers.

Sampath Vishwa, Sampath Bank’s multifaceted online platform offers its customers a total online banking experience, suited to meet customer needs and lifestyles. With services ranging from acquiring account details to fund transfers to Utility Bill Payments to Mobile Cash which is the first online money transfer facility to any phone.

Speaking about the launch of the new facility, HUTCH CEO Thirukumar Nadarasa said, “At HUTCH, we are constantly looking at ways to bring about convenience to our valued customers. We realised that not everyone is comfortable using credit/debit cards for online transactions. 

Therefore, this new initiative provides HUTCH customers who are Sampath Bank account holders the opportunity to recharge and pay their mobile account online through the Sampath Vishwa facility.”

Further remarking on this innovative launch Sampath Bank PLC Assistant General Manager – New IT Business Development Rajendra Ranasinghe said, “With digitisation taking over the industry with a wide range of services and transactions, Sampath Bank is pleased to extend the services of Sampath Vishwa to one of the leading cellular network providers in the country. Whilst adding convenience to daily requirements as simple as reloading one’s mobile phone, this partnership with HUTCH extends the bank’s portfolio which in turn echoes our goals to deliver utmost convenience and innovative solutions to all Sampath Customers.”
