Sri Lanka’s fintech sector continues to gain momentum with the appointment of Vardan Aslibekyan, Director and Chief Executive Officer of Pay&Go, to the Board of Directors of Fintech Forum Sri Lanka, the country’s leading industry body representing the financial technology sector.

The appointment was extended by Channa de Silva, Chairman of Fintech Forum Sri Lanka, in recognition of Aslibekyan’s contributions to Sri Lanka’s digital payments landscape and his growing role within the fintech ecosystem.

Fintech Forum Sri Lanka works closely with the Central Bank of Sri Lanka, government institutions, international fintech associations, and private sector stakeholders to advance financial technology in the country. The organisation serves as a platform to encourage innovation, strengthen industry collaboration, and support policies that enable the growth of Sri Lanka’s fintech sector.

Aslibekyan’s appointment reflects the expanding role of Pay&Go in the country’s digital financial services space. Under his leadership, the company has developed a rapidly growing payment technology platform that connects both digital and physical payment infrastructures across Sri Lanka.

Pay&Go today serves more than five million unique users across its platforms, including its mobile application, POS network, kiosks, and web-based services. The company continues to expand its nationwide network of self-service kiosks and merchant payment terminals, enabling individuals and businesses to conduct a wide range of financial transactions seamlessly.

Through this integrated platform, Pay&Go processes an average of approximately 1.5 million transactions per month, providing convenient and secure payment solutions across multiple channels.

By combining mobile payments with kiosk-based services and merchant payment terminals, Pay&Go has developed a hybrid payment ecosystem that bridges traditional financial infrastructure with modern digital technologies. This approach positions the company among the few fintech platforms in Sri Lanka operating across both digital and physical payment environments.

Fintech Forum Sri Lanka has also played an important role in bringing together industry leaders, regulators, policymakers, and innovators through its Fintech Summit, which was successfully held last year and attracted key stakeholders from across the financial services and technology sectors.

Building on the momentum of the inaugural event, the forum is preparing to host its second Fintech Summit in July this year, with participation expected from regional and international fintech leaders, investors, and policymakers.
