This was implemented with a special on–venue mobile operational office set up to carry out the execution. We were able to sign up over 150 three-wheel owners and they were awarded the iPay merchant status along with a special fuel allowance. We hope to continue this promotional drive, so that more and more customers and merchants across the island get to experience the convenience of iPay”.
LANKAQR is a common QR code standard introduced together with the licensed financial institutions and Lankaclear (Pvt) Ltd by the CB offering merchants the opportunity and convenience to use one common QR code instead of multiple platforms. Users can make payments via LANKA QR by simply scanning the code using any digital payment app connected to LANKAQR. Approximately, 190,000 merchants have already adopted LANKAQR since the launch of the island-wide campaign last year.
