Committed to instilling customers with confidence in their digital payments, Dialog’s Genie, Sri Lanka’s first financial marketplace and all-encompassing digital wallet, continues to drive digital payment adoption with Visa, its long-standing partner for credit and debit cards, thereby enabling them with seamless and secure digital transactions.


With the combined services offered by Genie and Visa, Dialog customers will benefit from an enhanced digital shopping experience and in addition to this, until November 27, Genie customers can avail an exclusive offer in the form of a rebate/top-up. To avail this offer, Genie customers just have to add a new Visa card on their Genie app and make their first Dialog mobile prepaid or postpaid connection payment via the app. Customers will receive 30 percent of the total amount back (up to a maximum of Rs.500) in the form of a rebate/top-up to the same Dialog mobile connection they have settled the payment for. 


Speaking on this integration, Dialog Axiata PLC Group Chief Digital Services Officer Renuka Fernando stated, “In line with the Central Bank of Sri Lanka’s vision of driving digital transactions that enable and enhance Sri Lanka’s digital payment landscape, Genie along with Visa is happy to offer our customers cashless confidence in addition to a variety of other contactless services.”


Visa Country Manager Sri Lanka and the Maldives Avanthi Colombage said, “Consumers always look for simple yet secure ways of paying digitally that eventually becomes a seamless habit. We are delighted to partner with Dialog and provide this convenience to their customers, where they can save their Visa cards on the Genie app and have the superior payment experience that comes with Visa. With the security of Card-on-File tokenization, this also ensures that transactions come with increased safety and reduced friction for our cardholders.”
