SL makes double digit growth in digital payments
Sri Lanka has made double digit growth in digital payments which is considered to be a substantial increase for credit card platforms like Visa which arrived in the country 30 years back.
Announcing this at a media briefing in Colombo at the Galle Face Hotel on Thursday, Visa International Sri Lanka and Maldives Country Manager Anthony Watson said that the growth in digital payments had increased substantially over the years and achieved double digit growth in the country.
Asia Pacific Regional President Chris Clark said that since the Colombo office opened in 2016 they were able to build leadership and retain partners built up over the years.
Through the Visa chip cards and contactless payment system, he said "We are going to drive digital payments on the island."
As part of a promotional drive, 30 three wheelers will travel the length and breadth of the island creating awareness of digital payments and the use of the Visa cards. (SD)
