Genie Business, powered by Dialog Finance PLC, has partnered with Kangaroo Cabs to introduce Sri Lanka’s first tap-to-pay taxi-hailing service, revolutionizing in-cab payments. This innovative system allows passengers to simply tap their Visa or Mastercard on the driver’s NFC-enabled phone, eliminating the need for cash or POS terminals.
This marks the first customized tap-to-pay solution tailored for the taxi industry in Sri Lanka. Kangaroo Cabs drivers can now accept card payments directly on their smartphones, enhancing the convenience and security of transactions. With Genie Business’ integration, the system automatically retrieves the fare, ensuring accuracy and speeding up payment processing.
Kangaroo Cabs, Sri Lanka’s leading private transportation provider for over 35 years, continues to set industry benchmarks for safety, comfort, and customer satisfaction. By introducing tap-to-pay, the company expands its payment options beyond cash and app-based methods, enhancing passenger convenience and reducing transaction friction.
Nazeem Mohammed, CEO of Dialog Finance PLC, stated, “We are proud to introduce Sri Lanka’s first taxi-hailing service enabled with tap-to-pay. Genie Business is committed to delivering innovative fintech solutions that enhance customer experience and empower businesses.”
Kusal Fonseka, Director of Finance at Kangaroo Cabs, added, “This collaboration is a significant step forward for Kangaroo Cabs. By offering tap-to-pay, we are embracing modern payment technology and enhancing operational efficiency for our drivers, while simplifying fare collection and minimizing disputes.”
Genie Business continues to lead the way in digital payment solutions in Sri Lanka, providing a range of services including tap-to-pay, internet payment gateways, multi-currency pricing, payment links, and digital lending, all of which contribute to empowering the country’s growing digital economy.
