FinTech, Sri LankaThe History of Sri Lanka’s economy was heavily agriculture-based, however, in the last few decades, it has shifted to a service economy. The main reason for this is development of the country’s banking and financial industry (BFI). Also, technology companies started offering innovative solutions within the financial services realm, further enhancing the FinTech industry in Sri Lanka.

At the beginning, financial services were dominated by BFIs and there were a lot of red tapes for technology companies to enter the industry. With the commencement of regulating FinTech companies, more and more doors for technology and FinTech companies started opening.
