To commence the campaign, Stone N String will offer the first 25 customers who use HNB SOLO a ruby pendant set in sterling silver.
Having linked LANKAQR to HNB SOLO, the bank was among other financial institutes and telecommunication partners to join the Central Bank of Sri Lanka in promoting digital payments as the standard for day-to-day transactions island-wide.
Launched in 2019 as HNB’s flagship digital payments solution, SOLO provides the convenience of digital transactions via the affordable, easy and widely-adaptable QR code, a more cost-effective option when compared to alternative payment solutions available in the market.
The bank has continuously bolstered SOLO’s features and functionality while refining its user interface to make QR-based payments intuitive, easy to use, and versatile.
SOLO has also provided extensive promotions and rewards to its growing user base. Additionally, the app can digitally store all payment instruments, including VISA, MASTER debit and credit cards, and any bank accounts connected to the JustPay payment ecosystem.
