People’s Bank Card Centre has unveiled an internet payment gateway (IPG) to facilitate ticket purchases and donations for the Sri Dalada Maligawa – International Buddhist Museum Complex. 

This new system enables both local and international visitors to make payments conveniently using credit or debit cards from anywhere in the world.

The official launch ceremony took place on recently on the Kandy Dalada Maligawa premises. The event was attended by key figures including Diyawadana Nilame Pradeep Nilanga Dela, People’s Bank CEO/GM Clive Fonseka, DGM Payment, Process Management and Quality Assurance Nilmini Premalal, DGM Channel Management Naleen Pathiranage, Head of Cards Jayanath Dias, Sri Dalada Maligawa Director Media and Special Projects Krishantha Hissella, People’s Bank Kandy Regional Manager Nalin Poththewela and officials.

Sri Dalada Maligawa Kandy has established the International Buddhist Museum to showcase the expansion of Buddhism throughout Asia and the rest of the world. This is the only museum that demonstrates the expansion of Buddhism.

The introduction of the IPG is a significant enhancement for the museum, offering a streamlined payment process that is expected to improve accessibility and convenience for visitors and supporters worldwide. This development aligns with the museum’s mission to engage a broader audience and facilitate easier contributions and interactions with its exhibits.
