The Commercial Bank of Ceylon has become the first bank in Sri Lanka to enable online payments to the Sri Lanka Standards Institution (SLSI) by linking the institution to ‘ComBank Digital,’ making it possible for customers to pay their fees to SLSI from anywhere and at any time. 


The bank has enabled real-time online payments to the SLSI for both its retail and business customers who can access www.combankdigital.com and its iOS, Android or Huawei mobile applications for this purpose. 
The platform is secured with industry-level security standards to provide a swift and safe digital banking experience to customers.


As this is a paperless process that does not require customers to visit a bank branch or the SLSI office, it further contributes to the ‘green’ initiatives of the Bank andalso enables customers to be more environment-friendly, the bank said.


To use this online payment option, customers simply have to visit the ‘Billers’ section on the platform, select the desired biller and make the payment. Once the payment has been successfully completed, the customer can download a cyber receipt as payment confirmation.


Commenting on this collaboration with SLSI, Commercial Bank’s Group Chief Marketing Officer Hasrath Munasinghe said, “The SLSI is the latest government institution to be connected to ComBank Digital. The bank has been exploring every possibility offered by technology and consistently enhancing its digital banking capabilities to facilitate convenience and encourage its customers to manage their day-to-day banking activities in a timely and hassle-free manner from their personal devices.”
