Launched in February 2025 by President and Digital Economy Minister Anura Kumara Disanayake, the Government’s national digital payment platform, GovPay, has surpassed Rs. 568 million in transactions as of 30 October, marking a milestone in Sri Lanka’s shift toward digital governance and cashless payments.
As of end-October, 37,715 transactions have been processed and 184 Government institutions are connected to the platform.
The system is operated by LankaPay Ltd. under the supervision of the Information Communication Technology Agency (ICTA) and the Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL).
GovPay enables citizens to make payments for Government services through banks, mobile applications, and other digital channels, eliminating the need for in-person visits.
It facilitates online payments for permits, licenses, fines, and other services provided by Government departments, provincial councils, and local authorities.
