WEBXPAY has announced that Google Pay is now officially live for online payments across all WEBXPAY-powered merchants.
This marks a significant milestone for the financial services sector, with WEBXPAY becoming the first fintech in Sri Lanka to activate Google Pay for e-commerce transactions.
The launch was made possible through a collaboration with Mastercard and Seylan Bank, combining global digital payments technology with local acquiring capabilities to strengthen Sri Lanka’s online commerce ecosystem.
With Google Pay now enabled, customers can enjoy a faster, more secure, and friction-free online checkout experience wherever Google Pay is supported. Payments can be completed seamlessly using saved cards, protected by biometric authentication and advanced tokenisation. This enhancement reduces checkout friction, builds customer trust, and helps merchants achieve higher conversion rates.
WEBXPAY’s standard checkout merchants will receive Google Pay automatically without any additional development effort, while merchants using tokenised or custom integrations may require minor adjustments to enable the feature.
WEBXPAY Executive Chairman Thilak Piyadigama said that this activation represents a major leap forward for Sri Lanka’s digital payments landscape. “Becoming the first fintech in the country to go live with Google Pay—powered in collaboration with Mastercard and Seylan Bank—underscores WEBXPAY’s commitment to delivering world-class digital payment experiences and supporting the nation’s shift toward a modern, seamless, and globally aligned digital economy.”
The implementation of Google Pay on WEBXPAY is built on an enterprise-grade security and compliance foundation, including ISO 27001-certified systems, Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)-compliant processing, tokenised and biometric-verified transactions, continuous real-time monitoring, and dependable T+1 settlements. This ensures a secure and consistent payment experience for merchants and customers across a broad range of industries.
The introduction of Google Pay is expected to benefit businesses of all sizes—from micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and online retailers to hospitality, education, logistics, and Government services—enabling them to offer a globally recognised and widely adopted digital payment option at checkout.
This launch further reinforces WEBXPAY’s role as Sri Lanka’s most connected digital payments enabler, bridging global innovation with local infrastructure to accelerate the country’s digital transformation.
