Money Transfers in Colombo: what to know

Money transfer services let people in Colombo, Sri Lanka send money abroad or receive it in LKR (Sri Lankan rupee). The real cost is the fee plus the gap between the provider's exchange rate and the mid-market rate, so compare both.

Currency in Sri Lanka
LKR · Sri Lankan rupee
Local accounts in Sri Lanka
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.
Payments in Sri Lanka
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.
