DFCC Bank, a pioneer in digital enablement and digital banking innovation, has launched a new service through DFCC Online Banking that enables customers to effortlessly make statutory payments to various public institutions around the clock. This eliminates the need for in-person payments, queues, and long wait times. The bank is offering this service in collaboration with the Lanka Pay Online Payments Platform (LPOPP) and the government’s GOV PAY online payments platform, both powered by LankaPay.

Commenting on the partnership, Aasiri Iddamalgoda – Senior Vice President/Head of Retail Banking and SME at DFCC Bank said, “We are driven by a passion and a commitment to consistently improve customer experiences and deliver simplicity, ease, and convenience through digital enablement. This new initiative aligns with this objective, providing an innovative solution that simplifies your financial life regarding statutory payments. This new feature is also the government’s willingness to collaborate with others to create new ways to transact and manage your financial obligations whilst saving time and enhancing convenience. With 24/7 accessibility from anywhere, you no longer must endure any hassle to make government payments!”  

Accordingly, customers can now use DFCC Online Banking to make payments to 13 separate government departments. But our commitment continues beyond there. DFCC Bank is also working with LPOPP to add more government departments in the future, seamlessly, as, and when new billers are integrated onto GOV PAY. This service builds on DFCC Bank’s existing online banking facilities for statutory payments including to the Inland Revenue Department, Sri Lanka Customs and EPF.
