SLT-Mobitel mCash has announced the integration of the Government Digital Payment Platform GovPay, designed to streamline and modernise public service delivery.
The integration of GovPay into mCash is a national initiative combining GovPay’s ability to process real-time payments to Government institutions, from traffic fines to Local Government taxes for over 4,000 public services, with mCash’s extensive reach, accelerating Sri Lanka’s digital economy agenda, strengthening financial inclusion, and modernising public service delivery. The initiative bridges citizens, Government, and technology, turning regular payments into a driver of national productivity, inclusion, and trust.
Mobitel customers can simply dial #111# to register for mCash, download the mCash App via Android, iOS, or Huawei AppGallery, and instantly begin making secure digital Government payments through GovPay. In addition, any customer can visit a nearby Mobitel reload outlet to make GovPay payments conveniently over the counter.
GovPay, a collaborative initiative of the Digital Economy Ministry, Information Communication Technology Agency of Sri Lanka (renamed GovTech), and LankaPay, facilitates payments to over 280 Government organisations for over 4,090 citizen services. Citizens can now settle utility bills, educational fees, healthcare charges, and even a wide range of Government dues seamlessly via mCash. Notably, the platform also enables on-the-spot traffic fine payments via GovPay, anytime, anywhere, directly through the mCash app.
Citizens gain convenience and accessibility with round-the-clock payment access. Moreover, Government revenue collection becomes faster, more transparent, and effective. Businesses and especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs) benefit from smoother compliance and reduced transaction costs.
For corporates and industry stakeholders, the integration signals a maturing payments ecosystem and one which reduces friction in Government-linked transactions, supporting greater efficiency and compliance across sectors.
