Local banking essentials

What to check before opening an account in Colombo

Regulation

Licensed banks, finance companies and payment providers are supervised by the Central Bank of Sri Lanka under the Banking Act and the Payment and Settlement Systems Act. Check the CBSL's list of licensed institutions and payment operators before using a digital provider.

Local account details

Sri Lanka does not use the international IBAN scheme domestically: accounts are addressed by the bank code, branch code and the bank-specific account number, with mobile-wallet accounts identified by the phone number.

Local currency: LKR (Sri Lankan rupee)

Payments and transfers

LankaPay, operated by LankaClear under CBSL oversight, runs the Common Electronic Fund Transfer Switch (CEFTS) for instant 24/7 interbank transfers, the SLIPS bulk clearing system and JustPay for mobile app payments; eZ Cash and other wallets ride on these rails.
