Sri Lankan cricket legend Mahela Jayawardena joins Mastercard’s ongoing efforts to encourage digital payments usage across the country. 


Under this association, Jayawardena will work towards creating awareness along with Mastercard through the #MasterYourWorld campaign to support the Central Bank’s digital payments education drive. 


Mastercard has also roped in former Miss Sri Lanka for Miss Universe Stephanie Siriwardhana, social media influencer and travel blogger Shenelle Rodrigo, television celeb Sachini Nipunsala and social media influencer Isuru Randeniya, to enhance the reach of the campaign. 


The two--ong campaign aims to educate consumers and merchants about the convenience of transacting on e-commerce platforms, online daily needs and utility payments, wide acceptance, safety and security of digital payments.


“Today, safety from contracting the virus has become one of the top priorities and digital payments are the easiest and safest way to transact with the evolving pandemic scenario. I am excited to join hands with Mastercard to support the Central Bank’s agenda of promoting digital payments and creating a digitally empowered society,” stated Jayawardena.


“Mastercard is delighted to partner with a distinguished sportsman Mahela Jayawardena to join our journey to promote the use of digital payments across the country. We hope that Mahela along with other influencers - Stephanie, Shenelle, Sachini, Isuru and the retail merchants, who are an active part of the MasterYourWorld campaign, will be able to spread awareness on the benefits of using digital payments and dispelling any myths around transacting online,” said Mastercard Country Manager Sri Lanka and the Maldives Sandun Hapugoda.
