SLT-Mobitel has become the first telco to join forces with Koko, the country’s pioneering Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) provider, to offer flexible payment solutions for 4G and 5G-ready devices and connectivity products.
As the first telecommunications provider to integrate BNPL solutions, SLT-Mobitel strengthens its position as an industry innovator committed to customer-centric solutions. The partnership also showcases the company’s understanding of evolving consumer preferences, agility in adapting to market demands, commitment to delivering exceptional value for money for all Sri Lankans, and prioritising affordability without compromising quality.
The initiative aligns with SLT-Mobitel’s national digital transformation goals, ensuring that financial constraints do not limit access to cutting-edge technology. Offering devices through affordable monthly payments, the partnership contributes to building a more connected and digitally inclusive society. The collaboration also supports SLT-Mobitel’s broader strategy of accelerating 5G adoption and delivering affordable advanced technology for everyone in Sri Lanka.
The partnership addresses a critical market need, enabling customers to connect and experience the latest smartphones, mobile routers, and connectivity devices through manageable installment plans.
The partnership will particularly benefit young professionals, students, and tech enthusiasts who seek premium technology but prefer flexible payment options over large upfront investments, suiting a range of budgets and no financial strain, a company spokesman said.
