## Why this matters for your business

Sri Lanka combines high financial access, with 88.36% of the population banked, with significantly lower digital payment participation at 47.3%. With 13.9 million people online, supporting local payment flows such as P2P can help businesses reduce payment friction and better serve consumers as digital adoption continues to grow.
