DFCC Bank’s Innovative Website Wins Best Category Awards at BestWeb.LK Awards – The Island

The Commercial Bank of Ceylon has become the first bank in Sri Lanka to enable online payments to the Sri Lanka Standards Institution (SLSI) by linking the institution to “ComBank Digital”, allowing customers to pay their fees to the SLSI from anywhere and anytime.

The Bank has enabled real-time online payments to SLSI for its retail and professional customers who can access for this purpose at www.combankdigital.com and its iOS, Android or Huawei mobile applications.

The platform is secured with industry-grade security standards to provide a fast and safe digital banking experience for customers. As it is a paperless process that does not require customers to visit a bank branch or the SLSI office, it further contributes to the Bank’s “green” initiatives and also allows customers to be more environmentally friendly, the Bank said.

To use this online payment option, customers only need to go to the ‘Invoicers’ section of the platform, select the desired invoice provider and make the payment. Upon successful payment, the customer can download an e-receipt as payment confirmation.

Commenting on this collaboration with SLSI, Commercial Bank Group Marketing Director, Mr. Hasrath Munasinghe said, “SLSI is the latest government institution to be connected to ComBank Digital. The Bank has explored all the possibilities offered by technology and constantly improved its digital banking capabilities to facilitate convenience and encourage its customers to manage their day-to-day banking activities in a timely and hassle-free manner from their personal devices.
