ComBank Q+ Payment App passes 50,000 user milestone

The Commercial Bank of Ceylon has announced that ComBank Q+ Payment App, the first Quick Response (QR) based payment app to be launched on the LANKAQR platform, is now being used by over 50,000 customers who have embraced the convenience and security of the cashless digital payment solution offered by the Bank.

The App went through a series of upgrades even as the Bank stepped up its promotion as part of its support to the Central Bank of Sri Lanka’s post-lockdown initiative to popularise QR code-based payments via LANKAQR.

ComBank Q+ Payment App was designed as a convenient and hassle-free payment alternative for Credit, Debit and Prepaid Card holders and merchants, taking them to the next dimension of digital payments, the Bank said. After the launch of the app that enabled cardholders to pay for purchases via their mobile phones simply and securely by scanning the merchant’s QR code, the app underwent several functionality-enhancing upgrades.

These included biometric authentication login for both the consumer and merchant applications, an ‘In-App Bill Payments’ feature that allows users connected to the Bank’s Debit, Credit or Prepaid cards to pay bills instantly, and the facility to promptly settle Credit Card outstanding and top-up Pre-paid Cards.

The ‘In-App Payments’ feature enables ComBank Q+ Payment App users to make payments in six categories such as data reloads, prepaid and post-paid mobiles, fixed telephone lines, utilities, water, and electricity (CEB and LECO), and pay-TV bills.
