Sampath Bank customers can already accept Visa, Mastercard, and UnionPay International online payments through the Sampath Payment Gateway. With this partnership, Sampath Bank becomes the first local bank in Sri Lanka to enable its customers to access online payment transactions across these six major issuer networks. To start accepting online payments for American Express, Diners Club, and Discover Network, Sampath Bank customers need to apply online for a merchant account with Paycorp International. Sampath Bank Card Centre Head Darshin Pathinayake said: “At Sampath Bank, we have always strived to leverage emerging technologies to deliver innovative solutions that transform Sri Lanka’s financial services landscape and add more value to the nation.
