LankaPay Technnovation Awards 2023 kicks off

LankaPay, the operator of Sri Lanka’s national payment network, announced the fifth edition of LankaPay Technnovation Awards, Sri Lanka’s pioneering and the only payment technology innovation awards.
The awards competition kicked off with the much-awaited online poll for the Most Popular Digital Payment Product of the Year, on February 21, 2023. The grand finale is scheduled to be held on March 21, 2023, at Shangri-La, Colombo.

The LankaPay Technnovation Awards is Sri Lanka’s first and the only payment technology innovation awards event, which aims to recognise the trailblazers of technology innovations in the financial services sector of the country. The objective is to reward those who have been steadfast to the cause of promoting digital payments, thereby enhancing customer convenience.
During the year 2021/22 alone, LankaPay empowered Sri Lankans from all walks of life across Sri Lanka to carry out over 200 million interbank digital financial transactions amounting to a staggering Rs.18 trillion conveniently and securely from anywhere at any time. This would not have been possible if not for the banks, non-banking financial institutions and fintechs, which made customer convenience their priority. LankaPay Technnovation Awards 2023 is a tribute to those who were leading the pack in customer convenience via payment technology innovations. 

The grand finale and awards ceremony is scheduled to be held under the patronage of Central Bank Governor Dr. Nandalal Weerasinghe, the chief guest. The keynote speaker will be Neal Cross, who is the former Managing Director and Chief Innovation Officer of DBS Bank, Singapore. He is also the Co-Founder of PictureWealth and Non-Executive Director - Peppermint Innovation.
