The Bank of Ceylon (BOC) was awarded the prestigious ‘Overall Gold Award for Excellence in Interbank Digital Payments’ at the LankaPay Technovation Awards 2022 at Shangri-La Colombo recently.
The event organised by LankaClear is known to be Sri Lanka’s only pioneering payment technology innovation awards. It recognises the frontrunners of payment technology innovations in the country who have steadfastly promoted electronic payments and who have constantly thrived to enhance customer convenience.
The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic almost brought not only Sri Lanka, but the entire world to a standstill. Banking services were declared a critical essential service for people during this period. LankaClear organised this year’s Technovation Awards ceremony on the theme ‘Honouring the Digital Superheroes’ to honour those involved in the financial sector who worked tirelessly to ensure the general public could perform their day-to-day financial transactions from wherever they were safely and conveniently.
“We are sincerely proud to that LankaPay Technnovation Awards 2022 honoured Bank of Ceylon as a ‘Digital Superhero’ by awarding it the Overall Gold Award for Excellence in Interbank Digital Payments’ for achieving the highest number of awards at the ceremony which included Gold Awards for the categories. We consider this as an achievement of our efforts to popularise digital banking solutions to all Sri Lankans around the country,” said Assistant General Manager Electronic Banking, Eranga Bandara.
The awards include: ‘Most Popular Digital Payment Product of the year 2021’, ‘Best Bank for Retail Payments’, ‘Bank of the Year for Financial Inclusivity’ and the Merit award for the ‘Best Common ATM enabler of the Year’.
General Manager K.E.D. Sumanasiri said, “I thank the bank’s staff members for their commitment and dedication towards achieving the bank’s mission to digitalise and empower the country. We as the No.1 Bank in the country will always strive towards digital excellence that will uplift our community at all times.”
