In a bid to offer coffee lovers with more coffee, Sri Lanka’s most customer-friendly bank HNB PLC partnered with the country’s largest and the most digitised café chain Barista to launch the SOLO Loyalty, earn and burn programme. 

As the market leaders in two different industries, this brand collaboration is a highlight, as it is specially curated for loyal customers. 
Among the first in a series of partnerships with local vendors, the bank will offer loyal SOLO and Barista customers the opportunity to earn points with each transaction.

“SOLO by HNB is a convenient payment solution that provides contactless payments at all 17 Barista outlets in Sri Lanka, the loyalty tie-up with Barista will reward the Barista and SOLO customers while encouraging cashless digital transactions,” HNB AGM Digital Business Chammika Weerasinghe said. 

Customers using SOLO by HNB connected to a HNB savings or current account to complete their payments at any Barista Outlet will be eligible to earn one loyalty point for every Rs.100 spent on coffee and other items. Each point is equivalent to Rs.1 and can be redeemed anytime at the customer’s convenience. 

Loyalty points can be earned by simply linking any HNB saving or current account to the bank’s digital wallet SOLO. Moreover, if a customer wishes to view his points earned or points redeemed, it is possible to check same from the Loyalty and Rewards tab on the SOLO home page. The bank’s user-friendly digital payment app and e-wallet, HNB SOLO, is linked with LANKAQR.
