HNB SOLO partnered with Lanka Hospitals to offer LANKAQR payment solutions, enabling access to timely medical assistance while strengthening the country’s cashless and contactless payment sphere. 
The partnership offers customers the option of completing a transaction by scanning the Dynamic QR code, a unique QR code generated for the transaction. This allows customers using an app linked with the LANKAQR initiative to make contactless purchases at stores by simply scanning the Dynamic QR, which appears on the display screen of the point of sale (PoS) machine.


HNB SOLO is available at all 20 cashier touch points in Lanka Hospitals in addition to 23 pharmacy outlets operated by Lanka Hospitals that are located in 19 Keells supermarkets countrywide, including One Galle Face Mall in Colombo, Sri Lanka Insurance Corporation (SLIC) main branch, Central Bank and Premasiri Supermarket in Colpetty. 


Customers who wish to make their purchases via HNB SOLO will be eligible for a range of benefits including a 20 percent discount on health check-ups such as executive healthcare packages, full-body packages, senior citizens’ health check-ups and mammogram. Customers also have the option of completing their transactions through various methods of payments such as VISA, Master Card or JustPay with just the press of a button and the swipe of a screen. 


Commenting on the partnership, HNB AGM Digital Business Chammika Weerasinghe said, “The pandemic may have driven the initial conversion to QR-based payments but we are now seeing a new wave of customers using the facility for convenience and reliability across QR-enabled platforms like HNB SOLO. Our tech infrastructure positions us to lead this expansion and we are delighted to partner Lanka Hospitals in driving digital Payments.”
