HNB PLC once again joined the Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CB) to promote the ‘Rata Purama LANKAQR’ campaign to raise awareness and encourage the public in the Kandy district towards a cashless payment ecosystem.
HNB, together with other financial institutions and telecommunication partners, participated in the day-long event held at the Kandy City Centre. The bank raised awareness regarding its LANKAQR integrated HNB SOLO payment app while onboarding merchants during the promotional campaign, HNB said in a media release.
“During the early stages of the pandemic we witnessed many of our customers and members of the public seamlessly adopt our cashless and contactless payment app HNB SOLO. With COVID and the subsequent launch of the ‘Rata Purama LANKAQR’ campaign the number of users of these types of systems have increased exponentially. Given that the mutual vision of the Central Bank and HNB is for a financially and technologically empowered Sri Lanka, HNB is proud to serve as an enthusiastic partner to roll out LANKAQR island-wide. The fact that we now have merchants in the cultural capital of Sri Lanka making this shift is another major milestone in this digitalization journey,” HNB Deputy General Manager – Retail and SME Banking, Sanjay Wijemanne said.
During the campaign, HNB also raised awareness regarding SOLO’s many facilities, including zero physical contact and increased efficiency on all transactions. Since its launch in 2019, SOLO has witnessed a consistently growing customer base. HNB continuously works to improve the app’s features and functionality by refining its user interface, enabling customers to experience intuitive, easy-to-use and versatile QR- based payments.
