6. Why now for Sri Lanka
Right time to enter the market
Sri Lankans are newly
experiencing the benefits of
digitalization with many individuals
being eager to ride the upward
curve
Blue ocean on payments
Normal business models have
reached saturation and digital
payments are still at infancy in
the local context
Competitors are in disarray
Banks and NBFIs are not
innovating fast enough to
capitalize on this demand.
Fintechs in the payment space
lack vision and are still trying to
own a single segment of a
broader spectrum
Regulatory support
Unlike for banks, which are
heavily regulated, Fintechs are
given the freedom to develop
products. The government
regulator is urging the
embracement of digitalization by
Fintechs to accelerate change
