Transforming government payments to digital while empowering financial institutions

Government Digital Payment Platform (GovPay)

In the current digital era, recognizing the inefficiencies of traditional cash transactions and handwritten receipts withing within most of the government organizations, LankaPay, Information Communication Technology Agency and the Ministry of Technology has taken the initiative of filling this gap spearheading the implementation of a groundbreaking Government Digital Payment Platform (GovPay).

With the 2023 budget proposal backing this project, all government payments and collections will soon be mandated to transition to electronic platforms. This strategic move not only addresses the current shortcomings but also aligns with global trends towards digitalization.

For financial institutions, this represents a significant opportunity to streamline operations and enhance service offerings. By integrating with the Government Digital Payment Platform (GovPay), institutions can tap into a secure and efficient channel for handling government transactions. This transition promises greater efficiency, transparency, and reliability in financial processes, ultimately benefiting both institutions and their clientele.
