20th Asian Payment Network Forum

LankaPay had the honour of hosting the 2nd meeting of 20th Asian Payment Network (APN) Forum in Colombo on 9th - 10th October at Shangri-la, Colombo. The two-day event commenced with the AGM held on 9th October that brought together delegates from 14 payment networks in 13 countries to discuss the future of cross-border retail payments.

Aptly themed 'Expanding Potential by Pivoting on Switching Business', it was the first time that the Forum of the regional payment network association was held in the South Asian region.

As the first South Asian member of the APN, LankaPay showcased Sri Lanka’s potential as a growing hub for global payments and business.

We are grateful to all participants and partner networks for their invaluable insights and eagerness to strengthen regional digital financial cooperation. This event marked a significant step forward in enhancing secure and efficient cross-border payment solutions across the APN member countries.
