Sri Lanka Insurance Corporation (SLIC) announced last week that it partnered the Genie app and eZ Cash to provide a hassle-free and convenient premium paying facility for customers. Genie, Sri Lanka’s first and only PCI-DSS-certified mobile payment app, and eZ Cash, the country’s first and largest mobile money and payment service by Dialog Axiata PLC, provides real-time, secure, and convenient insurance premium payments for SLIC policyholders. This partnership will allow any SLIC policyholder to make payments quickly, digitally, and at their convenience via Genie and eZ Cash mobile applications (available on Google Play Store and Apple App Store) and microsite (www.genie.lk) or via eZ Cash USSD by dialing #111#. Commenting on the partnership, SLIC Chief Executive Officer Chandana L. Aluthgama said: “A key strategic move at SLIC has been the decision to embrace technology by introducing new and innovative solutions to enhance efficiencies, productivity, and market reach. These strategies to bring our business closer to the customer will also add value to different stakeholders, including our business partners such as our advisors, while allowing SLIC to capitalise on diverse business opportunities, including new growth opportunities. Today, we are taking a leap forward by partnering with Dialog Axiata PLC. With the launch of the Genie app, it will support our aim of providing extensive reach for the ease of our customers, increasing the accessibility through different platforms. SLIC customers will further benefit from the utmost convenience of making cashless insurance premium payments while enjoying a hassle-free, secure payment experience." Sharing his thoughts, Dialog Axiata PLC Chief Digital Services Officer Dr. Nushad Perera said: “As a company that strives to empower and enrich Sri Lankan lives and enterprises using innovation and technology, we are proud to partner SLIC to introduce this convenient, digitally inclusive, and secure payment method for customers to make insurance payments from anywhere, at any time.”
