In a noteworthy effort to help Sri Lanka’s economy by saving valuable foreign exchange, Peoples’ Bank in yet another important national initiative, partnered with LankaClear to issue and acquire payment cards under the National Card Scheme (NCS).

Thus, People’s Bank became the first bank in the country to join this initiative as both an acquirer and an issuer.

NCS was introduced in 2017, under the guidance and approval of the Central Bank, with the objective of issuing a globally accepted local payment card as a cost-effective alternative to the current International Card Schemes operating in the country. LankaClear’s quest as the operator of the country’s national payment network – LankaPay has been to minimize the cost structure within the financial sector through a common infrastructure thereby reducing the cost to the banks, customers and the country as a whole. The LankaPay/JCB cards issued under the NCS will route all domestic transactions locally and only overseas transactions will be routed via the JCB network, an International Card Scheme based in Japan, which is a member of the EMVCo. (EMV® is a registered trademark in the U.S. and other countries and an unregistered trademark elsewhere. The EMV trademark is owned by EMVCo, LLC). This initiative will ensure that no foreign exchange outflow takes place for any local transaction unlike in the case of using other international card schemes. This could potentially save the country a large amount of foreign exchange for local transactions from the use of debit/credit cards issued under other international card schemes.

As a result of this initiative, over 4,000 of merchants of People’s Bank across the country will be able to accept LankaPay/JCB co-branded cards in their POS terminals. Domestic usage of these cards will bring down the current merchant commission (MDR) of around 3% to a much lower 1%, which will make card transactions more acceptable to the merchants. This benefit is expected to be passed down to the customers as most merchants currently add this commission to the value of the good, which has been a primary reason for slow penetration of card payments in the country.

Furthermore, People’s Bank is ready to commence issuing LankaPay/JCB co-branded cards to their customers. While cardholders are likely to benefit from reduced merchant discount rates, they will also enjoy 50% reduction in the applicable charges for interbank ATM cash withdrawal via this card.

Commenting on the bank’s achievement, People’s Bank CEO/GM, Mr. Ranjith Kodituwakku stated “As the country’s leading digital banking service provider People’s Bank remains committed to pioneer any technological innovation for the betterment of the country and the customers. We are especially delighted to be a part of this initiative which saves valuable foreign exchange for the nation in this hour of need as a nation minded organization”.

Welcoming People’s Bank aboard, GM/CEO LankaClear, Mr. Channa de Silva stated “we are delighted to welcome People’s Bank to this national initiative, which marks an important milestone in this journey that began in 2017. Being one of country’s pioneering state banks, which has its footprint in every nook and corner of the country, our partnership with People’s Bank has given this effort a renewed impetus. From a macro point of view, billions of rupees are currently taken out of the country every year for using other international card schemes. This initiative will help curtail this foreign exchange outflow for local transactions while bringing greater autonomy to the country’s financial sector. We believe that this will be of great importance to our country at a time where there is significant reduction in the foreign exchange inflow due to the pandemic, which will help to stabilize the country’s economy.”

A unique feature of this card is the 2 in1 capability where there is a stored value element in addition to debit/credit feature. Based on this card, the Central Bank and Ministry of Transport is about to launch the Sri Lanka Transit Card to be used in public transport as a prepaid top-up card.  People’s Bank has been an integral part of this national endeavour from its inception in addition to Sri Lanka Transport Board and National Transport Commission.

Peoples’ Bank has the largest customer base of 14 million customers in the country and also the largest branch network of 741 physical contact points to serve them. The bank also provides its services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year via its Self-Banking Units amounting over 250 across the island. The bank also has played a pivotal role in taking digital banking benefits to the masses and thereby has positioned itself as the leading digital banking service provider in the country.

The Commercial Bank of Ceylon has announced it is now accepting digitally signed documents from business customers using LankaSign operated by LankaClear, the only commercially operating Certification Authority in the country which complies with the Electronic Transactions Act.

The Bank recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding with LankaClear as the first step towards embracing digital signatures. Commercial Bank is the first entity in Sri Lanka’s financial sector to adopt LankaSign digital signatures for document signing.

In the first phase of this development, the Bank will encourage its corporate customers to submit their online banking applications signed digitally. Acceptance of digital signatures will be extended to other banking related documents shortly, the Bank said.

Commenting on the roll out of digital signature acceptance for the Bank’s customers, Commercial Bank Managing Director Mr S. Renganathan said: “While technology offers unparalleled convenience and advantages to financial institutions and their customers, there are security and fraud related risks. With the exponential increase in the use of electronic transactions, the need for advanced IT security infrastructure becomes critical in order to eliminate these risks. The introduction of the digital signature feature powered by LankaSign is therefore another important step in this direction.”

“Additionally, the adoption of digital signatures is an advance in convenience for our corporate customers, especially during the pandemic,” Mr Renganathan said.

Digital signatures help businesses save on cost and time with documents and contracts signed off with a click of a button, eliminate the need for indirect costs and costs related to wet signatures, enhance workflow efficiency and provide a better customer experience. They are highly secure and reduce the risk of duplication or alteration of the document or the signature itself, are legally valid, and are environment-friendly because they contribute towards reducing waste.

LankaClear launched Sri Lanka’s first Digital Certification Authority under the brand name LankaSign in accordance with the Electronic Transaction Act, No.19 of 2006 in May 2009. In its first phase LankaSign provided digital certificates to Banks to be used in financial transaction clearing systems, such as SLIPS and CITS. In 2011 LankaSign launched its second phase by providing digital certificates for all financial sector enterprise applications, SSL Certificates and End Users (E-mail/Document signing) Certificates on both private and public networks. Offering an affordable option to the country’s financial sector, LankaSign has helped in automating documentation work which was previously done manually. It also introduced the facility of issuing digital certificates in real-time for digitally signed and authenticated electronic documents for mobile-based payment applications.

Speaking of this partnership with ComBank, Mr Channa de Silva, General Manager/CEO of LankaClear said: “We applaud Commercial Bank on their progressive move towards introducing LankaSign Digital Signatures for document signing to customers. At a time when travel restrictions are in place and banks themselves operate with limited staff, we believe this initiative is timely and customer friendly. Furthermore, it will also provide much needed assurance of integrity, non repudiation and authentication for all digitally-signed documents, which is essential in safeguarding the interest of the Bank and its customers in the face of rising risk of cyber security threats.”

Sri Lanka’s first fully carbon neutral bank, the first Sri Lankan bank to be listed among the Top 1000 Banks of the World and the only Sri Lankan bank to be so listed for 11 years consecutively, Commercial Bank operates a network of 268 branches and 931 automated machines in Sri Lanka. The Bank’s overseas operations encompass Bangladesh, where the Bank operates 19 outlets; Myanmar, where it has a Microfinance company in Nay Pyi Taw; and the Maldives, where the Bank has a fully-fledged Tier I Bank with a majority stake.

LankaClear – the operator of LankaPay- Sri Lanka’s National Payment Network unveiled two new ground breaking initiatives towards making payments easier, faster and convenient. Payment Exchange Name (PEN) and Direct Debit Authorization (DDA) were launched at a press conference held at the Kingsbury Hotel Colombo, recently. Director Payments and Settlements of the Central Bank, Mr. D Kumaratunge and GM/CEO LankaClear Mr. Channa de Silva addressed the press conference.  Mr. Ravi De Silva, Director General of SLBA and Mr. Dinuka Perera, DGM IT and Operations of LankaClear and CEOs of member banks were also present at this occasion.



Payment Exchange Name (PEN) is a nickname based real-time person-to-person or peer-to-peer (P2P) payment system facilitated via LankaPay Common Electronic Fund Transfer Switch (CEFTS). PEN enables customers to make P2P payments amongst PEN member banks conveniently, securely and error free. With PEN, Customers no longer have to provide their bank name, branch, account number and other details when requesting for a fund transfer. This would minimize the mistakes made by customers in making an electronic fund transfer. Due to the ease of making fund transfers, PEN is expected to attract less tech-savvy customers also to adopt electronic payment modes in making fund transfers, which is key to making financial inclusivity a reality. Upon joining the PEN network, PEN member banks would assign a nickname for each account held by the customer. These nicknames would be associated with the mobile phone number registered by the customer with the respective financial institution.  Once this process is completed, customers are able to make fund transfers amongst customers of PEN member banks with the ease of simply selecting the mobile number and the respective PEN, ensuring the accuracy and the security of the fund transfer. Sampath Bank and the National Savings Bank would go down in history as the pioneer banks to have joined the PEN payment network. A number of other financial institutions would soon offer this payment option for the convenience of their customers.

The second exciting initiative is Direct Debit Authorization (DDA), which is another extension of the LankaPay CEFTS. With the launch of the DDA feature, customers would have the convenience of giving a mandate to the bank of a third party to pull up to a certain amount of funds from their bank account on a given date, without the customer having to initiate the payment at his end. These recurrent payments could range from bill payments such as electricity bills, water bills to insurance premium payments to telecom bill payments etc. This feature, heavily used in other countries, would immensely benefit organizations in their payment collection activities as well as make payment reconciliation more efficient. Especially, Banks, Insurance companies, leasing companies and utility companies would find this feature to be of great convenience in collecting their dues on time. At the initiation, Citizens Development Business Finance PLC, Commercial Leasing & Finance PLC, Deutsche Bank, LOLC Finance, Peoples Bank, Public Bank, National Savings Bank, Seylan Bank and Standard Chartered Bank will be offering the Direct Debit facility to their customers and many other banks and financial institutions are in the pipeline to join the network.

LankaClear Pvt Ltd as the operator of Sri Lanka’s National Payment Network comes under the direct purview of the Central Bank. LankaClear is entrusted with the mandate to execute the Central Bank’s mission towards promoting electronic payments in the country and harnessing financial inclusivity. Owned by the Central Bank and other licensed commercial banks in the country, LankaClear is recognized as one of the best public private partnerships in the country. Since its inception in 2002, LankaClear has been instrumental in laying a firm foundation to the country’s financial infrastructure and has saved billions of foreign exchange to the country that could have otherwise been paid to the international payment networks, by routing domestic interbank transactions. The company’s prime objective is to enable every citizen with affordable, faster, convenient and secure payment options thereby providing the much needed payment technology support in taking the country to the next elevation.
