The National Mobile Service Provider, Mobitel, has partnered with the Open University of Sri Lanka (OUSL) to provide yet another service through Mobitel’s mCash.

Now, Open University students who are mCash users can make their student fee payments through the mCash mobile money service. Students can skip the tedious form filling at Banks and other payment points by simply making a direct payment to the Open University through their mCash account, using only their mobile phone.

Students can simply visit to Open University Website and logging into their MYOUSL account via https://payment.ou.ac.lk/ and select mCash as the preferred payment method, to pay all their fees and university expenses.
