Dialog Axiata PLC, the leading connectivity provider in Sri Lanka, is actively contributing to the nation’s digital advancement with the launch of ‘GanuDenu QR’, a QR code-based payment system integrated into the MyDialog App. This innovative solution empowers users to transfer money instantly between Dialog Finance and eZ Cash accounts, marking a significant milestone in Sri Lanka’s payment landscape by expanding QR transactions beyond traditional merchant interactions. It is aimed at fostering a cashless and digitally inclusive society.
‘GanuDenu QR’ enhances the growing trend of QR payments and money transfers in Sri Lanka by offering a straightforward method for individuals to conduct transactions using a simple QR code. Users can send or receive amounts up to LKR 5,000 without any fees, making it a practical tool for sharing costs, settling debts, and managing small transactions among friends, family, and local communities. This solution is designed for simplicity, security, and real-time processing, allowing for effortless digital transactions without cash. Additionally, ‘GanuDenu QR’ is compatible with the LankaPay network, facilitating transactions across all banks, non-bank financial institutions, and fintech entities recognized by the Central Bank of Sri Lanka.
Timed for the Sinhala and Tamil New Year celebrations, ‘GanuDenu QR’ serves as a modern digital alternative to traditional monetary exchanges during the Avurudu festivities, while also remaining relevant beyond the holiday period. As an incentive, users of ‘GanuDenu QR’ through the MyDialog App will receive an initial bonus of 2GB of free data upon their first transaction.
Supun Weerasinghe, Director and Group Chief Executive of Dialog Axiata PLC, remarked, “At Dialog, we recognize that digital payments are essential for fostering a more inclusive and interconnected digital economy. With ‘GanuDenu QR’, we are enhancing the role of QR payments in Sri Lanka, allowing individuals to engage in seamless transactions with each other. We appreciate the support from the Ministry of Digital Economy, the Central Bank of Sri Lanka, and LankaPay, particularly in waiving transaction fees for transfers up to LKR 5,000. Collectively, these initiatives represent a significant step towards establishing a cashless digital economy in Sri Lanka.”
In line with its commitment to a digitally inclusive society, Dialog continues to invest in solutions that broaden access to digital services, making everyday transactions easier and more convenient. The introduction of ‘GanuDenu QR’ exemplifies this dedication, providing individuals with practical options for conducting transactions and contributing to the ongoing development of Sri Lanka’s digital ecosystem.
