ComBank supports Colombo launch of CBSL campaign to promote LANKAQR

The Commercial Bank of Ceylon extended its wholehearted support to the Colombo launch last weekend of the Central Bank’s initiative to promote cashless digital payments via LANKAQR, the national Quick Response (QR) Code platform.

The Colombo launch event was held at ‘Diyatha Uyana,’ one of the most popular outdoor markets in Sri Jayewardenepura, and was attended by the State Minister of Money, Capital Markets & State Enterprise Reforms Hon. Ajith Nivard Cabraal, Central Bank Deputy Governor Mrs T. M. J. Y. P. Fernando, Central Bank Director Payments and Settlements Mr D. Kumaratunge and several other dignitaries.

Commercial Bank, whose App ‘ComBank Q+’ was the first QR-based payment App to be launched on the LANKAQR platform, offered customers paying for purchases at Diyatha Uyana via ComBank Q+ over the weekend a 20% cashback subject to a daily limit, in support of this promotion. At the same time, The Bank’s sales teams visited retail establishments in Pelawatte and Battaramulla to register more vendors for the ComBank Q+ merchant App, as part of its continuing support to popularising LANKAQR. Customers who purchase from these merchants by using ComBank Q+ will also get the 20% cashback till 31st January, the Bank said.
