PayMedia (Pvt) Ltd, one of Sri Lanka’s foremost financial technology companies, proudly marks its 12th anniversary this year, a milestone that reflects over a decade of relentless innovation, trusted partnerships, and leadership in the nation’s digital payments journey. Founded in 2014 by visionary entrepreneur Kanishka Weeramunda, PayMedia set out with a clear ambition: to deliver robust software solutions to banks and financial institutions, and to make digital technology something people could genuinely trust and enjoy. Twelve years on, that vision has grown into a comprehensive suite of products that simplify the financial lives of millions across Sri Lanka and the wider region.
From its head office in Colombo, PayMedia has built a reputation for engineering solutions that sit at the heart of modern banking, including Digital/electronic wallets, smart banking platforms, micro-finance mobile applications, and fully digitized customer onboarding and also AI powered digital solutions.

The past few years have been especially defining. PayMedia earned the certifications, underscoring its unwavering commitment to information security and the protection of client and stakeholder data. “Reaching twelve years is not just about how far we’ve come, but about the trust our partners and customers have placed in us,” said Kanishka Weeramunda, Founder of PayMedia. “Every solution we build is designed to make financial services more accessible, secure, and seamless. As we look ahead, our mission remains the same — to keep disrupting the way payments work, in Sri Lanka and across the world.” As it celebrates this anniversary, PayMedia reaffirms its dedication to driving financial inclusion through technology, nurturing local talent, and contributing to Sri Lanka’s emergence as a competitive hub for fintech innovation.
