Dialog Axiata adds govt services payments to eZ Cash

Sri Lankan telco Dialog Axiata said on Wednesday it has integrated GovPay – the government’s digital payment platform for government services – into its eZ Cash mobile money service, enabling users to pay for government services at eZ Cash retail outlets.

The initiative enables people across Sri Lanka to make a wide range of government-related payments – such as traffic fines, payment of rates to municipal councils, divisional secretariats, fees to government universities and other state institutions – at any of eZ Cash’s 55,000+ retail outlets.

Payments via GovPay are subject to the standard GovPay service fee of LKR15 (around US$0.15), with no additional charges.

Dialog said the nationwide rollout positions GovPay as a practical public-service enabler, supporting the government’s objective of making public services more inclusive and efficient across all regions, while leveraging trusted retail infrastructure to ensure equitable access for communities islandwide.

 “By extending GovPay across over 55,000 eZ Cash outlets, we are helping ensure that government services are accessible through local retail outlets across the country, supporting financial inclusion and digital transformation,” said Supun Weerasinghe, director and group CEO of Dialog Axiata, in a statement.

“Expanding GovPay through the eZ Cash retail network is a meaningful step in ensuring that digital government services reach every citizen, regardless of location or access to technology,” added Eranga Weeraratne, Sri Lanka’s Deputy Minister of Digital Economy, who attended the launch ceremony of the service.
