HNB SOLO flavours Fusion Galle Street Food Festival

HNB SOLO team at the festival

Sri Lanka’s most user-friendly payment app, HNB SOLO flavoured the recently held ‘Fusion Galle Street Food Festival’ by sponsoring the event, continuing its efforts to engage the youth to increase the adoption of cashless payments across Sri Lanka.

The app introduced by HNB PLC, partnered with sellers who were part of the event to offer users of SOLO discounts and promotions on food and beverage purchases. The event was supported by HNB SOLO for the third consecutive year.

Held at the Magistrate Square within the Galle Fort, the event featured food stalls with authentic Sri Lankan, Italian, Indian and Mexican cuisine and a live performance by a musical band. 

“The youth can play a key role as ambassadors in driving the adoption of cashless payments across the island. Hence, being a part of events such as this, which attracts a large number of youth, enables HNB SOLO to engage with them and show them first-hand the benefits of the app, especially in making lifestyle purchases,” HNB Head of Digital Business, Chammika Weerasinghe said.   

  
HNB SOLO, launched in 2019, is designed to empower users with complete freedom in digital payments, enabling the flexibility to handle any transaction anywhere. The intuitive, user-friendly and sophisticated app eliminates the need for physical contact. 

QR-code based-payments through HNB SOLO are more cost-effective, when compared to alternative payment solutions available in the market. Users can make payments via LANKA QR by scanning the code using SOLO. Upon completion, merchants will receive an instant SMS notification, confirming the receipt of payment.
