HNB PARTNERS TO FACILITATE CASHLESS RIDES

Sri Lankan mobile app for transportation PickMe selected Hatton National Bank (HNB) as its payment solutions provider for Visa and MasterCard debit and credit cards. As Sri Lanka’s largest acquirer of Visa and MasterCard, having 44 percent market share, HNB is now also the first and only bank in Sri Lanka to facilitate an in-app (mobile) payment gateway that allows Visa or MasterCard credit and debit cardholders to pay for their taxi rides within a mobile application. Going forward, commuters could avail themselves of this facility by doing a one-time registration.
