🏦 Banking & Payments

Sri Lanka's national standardized QR payment system, letting users pay via QR code across participating banks and wallets. About LankaQR: LankaQR is a Central Bank of Sri Lanka-backed initiative creating a common QR payment standard, letting customers of different banks and digital wallets pay merchants using the same QR code system regardless of which bank app they use. Key Features: Bank-Agnostic Standard: Works across multiple participating banks and digital wallet apps rather than being tied to one provider. Wide Merchant Acceptance: Increasingly accepted across retailers, restaurants and services throughout Sri Lanka. No Extra App Needed: Existing banking or wallet apps that support LankaQR can be used to scan and pay. Government-Backed Standard: Backed by the Central Bank, aimed at reducing cash dependency nationally. How to Get Started: Check whether your existing bank or wallet app supports LankaQR payments. At a participating merchant, open your banking or wallet app's QR scanner. Scan the merchant's LankaQR code and confirm the payment amount. Complete the payment through your app's standard authentication process. Important Notice: LankaQR itself is a payment standard rather than a standalone app — you'll use it through your existing bank or wallet app that has adopted the LankaQR system.
