• Wins multiple accolades

Seylan Bank recently secured three prestigious awards, including the award for the Acquiring Bank for the Best Mobile Application for Retail Payments via JustPay, which was awarded to Helapay of Bhasha Lanka (Pvt.) Ltd, at the seventh edition of LankaPay Technnovation Awards 2025. 

Held recently at Shangri-La Colombo, the accolades underscore Seylan Bank’s commitment to exceptional progress in financial technology advancements to enhance customer experiences.

Seylan Bank stands as the proud Gold recipient of the Best Common ATM Enable of the Year Award in Category B. It is also the winner of the Excellence in Customer Convenience (Merit) and Financial Institution of the Year for Financial Inclusivity (Merit) in the same category. The awards underscore the ‘Bank with a Heart’ as an institution whose efforts drive innovation in digital banking. 

The bank’s collaborative approach in supporting fintech/start-up was further justified by providing API banking services to Bhasha Lanka (Pvt.) Ltd. The services provided to Helapay resulted in the bank being recognised as the Acquiring Bank for JustPay digital payment. 

The awards also demonstrate Seylan Bank’s efforts to elevate accessible and secure finance services by leveraging relevant technology to meet the evolving customer needs and demands in an increasingly digital world.

It further validates the bank’s commitment towards driving a digital economy for Sri Lanka, supporting the government’s direction in ensuring the uptake for digital payments.  Organised and launched by LankaPay in 2017, Sri Lanka’s national payment network, the LankaPay Technnovation Awards are Sri Lanka’s only financial sector awards ceremony committed to celebrating the efforts of industry-shaping digital payment technology innovation.
