Sri Lankan telco Dialog Axiata has launched a new QR-based payment solution for its mobile money service that enables users to send and receive money directly to each other.

The ‘GanuDenu QR’ solution, which launched on Monday, allows users to transfer money via their Dialog Finance and eZ Cash accounts using a QR code.

Dialog Axiata said GanuDenu QR is interoperable across the LankaPay network, which enables transactions across all Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL) accredited banks, non-bank financial institutions, and fintech platforms.

CBSL and LankaPay have agreed to waive service charges on transactions up to LKR5,000 (US$15.90).

Dialog Axiata said enabling person-to-person transactions supports a variety of use cases, from sharing expenses and settling payments to gifts during festivals and holidays like Avurudu and the Sinhala and Tamil New Year, both of which happen to kick off next week.

Beyond that, Dialog Axiata director and Group CEO Supun Weerasinghe said the service will support Sri Lanka’s ongoing transition towards a more cashless and digitally inclusive society.

“With the introduction of GanuDenu QR, we are expanding the role of QR payments in Sri Lanka beyond merchant transactions, enabling individuals to transact directly with one another in a simple and seamless manner,” he said in a statement.

As a sweetener, Dialog Axiata said customers who use GanuDenu QR via the MyDialog App will receive 2GB of free data on their first send transaction.
