Sri Lankan cricket legend Mahela Jayawardena joined Mastercard’s ongoing efforts to encourage digital payments usage across the country. Under this association, Jayawardena will work towards creating awareness along with Mastercard through #MasterYourWorld campaign to support the Central Bank’s digital payments education drive.
Mastercard has also roped in former Miss Sri Lanka for Miss Universe, Stephanie Siriwardhana, social media influencer and travel blogger Shenelle Rodrigo, television celeb Sachini Nipunsala and social media influencer Isuru Randeniya to enhance the reach of the campaign.
The two-month campaign aims to educate consumers and merchants about the convenience of transacting on e-commerce platforms, online daily needs and utility payments, wide acceptance, safety and security of digital payments.
“Today, safety from contracting the virus has become one of the top priorities and digital payments are the easiest and safest way to transact with the evolving pandemic scenario.
I am excited to join hands with Mastercard to support the Central Bank’s agenda of promoting digital payments and creating a digitally empowered society,” said Mahela Jayawardena.
