BOC relaunches ‘SmartPay’ app with added convenience

Bank of Ceylon (BOC) has announced the relaunch of their payment app ‘SmartPay’ with new features, enabling users to simply download the app from Google Play Store, Apple App Store and Huawei App Gallery and use for payments, fund transfers, purchases and sales by Lanka QR merchants. 
The event was held at the BOC Head Office with the presence of Chairman Ronald C. Perera, Director Naresh Abeysekara and General Manager/CEO W. P. Russel Fonseka, along with the corporate and executive management.

To become a SmartPay user, it is not mandatory to be a BOC Customer. Anybody can now enjoy the SmartPay app by simply downloading the app and adding their own any bank account as the payment instrument and use this free app. SmartPay has become the ideal choice for today’s busy people who demand convenience, simplicity, high security and speed as key factors in their payment experience. 

SmartPay follows a very simplified, but a very secured registration process on par with latest top-notch global security standards. Anyone (BOC customers/Non-customers) can simply self-register by entering required personal details after installing the app on their devices. The users must create a four-digit PIN, upload profile picture and answer three security questions in order to complete registration process. Depending upon availability of bio metrics on the device, SmartPay users can now login to their account with their bio metrics authentication.

SmartPay enables the customers to enjoy the convenience of card less and cashless payments for their day-to-day necessities. Especially, SmartPay users with a simple scan can make payments at over 300,000 LANKAQR certified merchant outlets, including utility payments island wide, using solely their own mobile device. In addition, the users now have the ability to settle any utility bills as well as payment for a range of government services.
