As technology leaders in designing and developing ICT solutions in secure electronic payments and information systems security domains, Epic Lanka has successfully implemented several innovative solutions in leading banks operating in Sri Lanka and the region. These solutions have enabled banks to reach masses with online real time banking services in a highly cost effective manner.

It also introduced the Epic Terminal Line Encryption solution to combat increasing frauds in the use of payment cards. Its 3D secure solution that adheres to latest international standards addresses security issues in the internet payments.
