Unfortunately Sri Lankan market is too small for them. However, we will try our best to convince them and keep up a dialogue to gain this restricted inward PayPal access to Sri Lanka," a senior official at CBSL's Payments and Settlements Department said.Meanwhile, speaking to Ceylon FT, National Chamber of Exporters chief Ramal Jasinghe said, they are also continuously lobbying the relevant authorities to gain full PayPal access to Sri Lanka."As exporters, PayPal is a very important digital payment method to us. There are many individuals and small and medium businesses that provide online services. But Sri Lanka not supporting PayPal has become a barrier for them to continue......and progress in their career," he said. CBSL official also said, they plan to refresh talks with another payment gateway provider, Stripe to enter Sri Lanka."The ICTA has done some initial paper work with Stripe. Now we have to restart that temporally stopped process while working with stakeholders to conclude approvals," he said.Stripe is a US technology company operating in over 25 countries, which allows both private individuals and businesses to accept payments over the Internet.Stripe focuses on providing the technical, fraud prevention, and banking infrastructure required to operate on-line payment systems.- <a href="http://www.ceylontoday.lk/print20170401CT20170630.php?id=28019" target="_blank">http://www.ceylontoday.lk/print20170401CT20170630.php?id=28019</a></blockquote>
