Merchants at One Galle Face Mall, Colombo’s first international and most prestigious retail development, can now benefit from Sri Lanka’s first-ever Android-based payment acceptance solution, powered by Commercial Bank of Ceylon. 

With one multi-function smart terminal, merchants can accept standard Credit and Debit card-based payments, contactless ‘Tap and Go’ payments and QR code payments – a preferred payment mode among Chinese shoppers.
