Dialog Finance Launches Next-Generation Virtual Debit Card, Elevating Digital Payments in Sri Lanka

Dialog Finance PLC, Sri Lanka’s leading fintech innovator, announced the launch of its Virtual Debit Card, the first in Sri Lanka to enable customers to generate multiple virtual cards for different purposes within a single app. This cutting-edge, digital-first payment solution is designed to deliver smarter control, enhanced security, and effortless everyday transactions, making online payments safer, more flexible, and fully manageable through the Genie app.

Designed for today’s mobile-first lifestyle, the Virtual Debit Card is managed seamlessly within the Genie app, allowing customers to generate multiple virtual cards tailored for specific use cases such as subscriptions, individual merchants, or shared spending scenarios. Each card offers customizable spending limits, real-time transaction tracking, and the option to delete or deactivate it once its defined use is complete. By isolating transactions across different purposes, this approach significantly enhances online payment security while providing complete visibility and control.

Issued on the UnionPay International network, the Virtual Debit Card ensures wide global acceptance for online and in-store payments. It also paves the way for future enhancements, including Tap to Pay functionality on NFC-enabled smartphones, enabling fast, contactless in-store transactions scheduled to be activated soon as part of Dialog Finance’s ongoing product evolution.

Commenting on the launch, Nazeem Mohamed, CEO & Director of Dialog Finance PLC, said, “This launch strengthens our position as Sri Lanka’s leading fintech provider. By offering multiple virtual cards, and intuitive in-app controls, we are delivering a secure, flexible digital payment experience that perfectly aligns with modern customer needs.”

The Dialog Finance Virtual Debit Card is now available exclusively through the Genie mobile app, allowing customers to instantly generate, manage, and control their cards from a single interface. This milestone further solidifies Dialog Finance’s leadership in delivering customer-centric, innovation-led digital payment solutions in Sri Lanka.
