DFCC Bank participated in the Central Bank of Sri Lanka’s (CBSL) RataPurama QR promotional event in Galle recently.

The decision by DFCC to maintain a presence at this event came after the recent promotional campaign at the Narahenpita Economic Centre with the goal of promoting QR payments under the Central Bank of Sri Lanka’s Rata Puraama Quick Response initiative. 

DFCC was also able to build increased awareness and use of the DFCC Pay App that enables QR code transactions - numerous vendors and customers were able to gain insight into the convenience of using a QR-based payment method via DFCC Pay App.

The launch of DFCC’s Pay App in January 2019 resulted in the bank becoming among one of the first financial institutions to be certified for the LANKAQR standard which is now accepted as the national common QR.

The Pay App permits customers to make retail payments using smart mobile devices through funds available in their current or savings account to the merchant’s account directly. 

The DFCC Pay Merchant App can be used by all types of merchants in the country from large corporates, SMEs to wayside vendors, while QR Merchants can accept payments even with the use of a basic feature phone as the payment confirmation can be sent as an SMS Alert.
