Reiterating its commitment to transforming Sri Lanka with cutting-edge digital solutions, SLT-Mobitel has partnered with the Department for Registration of Persons (DRP), marking an important milestone in Sri Lanka’s telecommunication history by facilitating the authentication of details of the National Identity Cards (NICs) for customers who patronise services from SLT-Mobitel, through a digitalised platform.
The MoU was signed between the Commissioner General of the Department for Registration of Persons, Viyani Gunathilaka and Chief Executive Officer, Mobitel, Chandika Vitharena. Senior officials of SLT-Mobitel and the Department for Registration of Persons were also present. SLT-Mobitel’s partnership with the DRP ensures its access to the NIC authentication facility hitherto available only to Banks and financial institutions. This partnership will empower SLT-Mobitel to have authenticated Know-Your-Customer (KYC) details of its subscribers.
This will help the organisation to minimise malpractices and fraudulent activities when issuing new connections and other services and will help further improve National Security.
SLT-Mobitel places utmost importance in driving the nation’s digital transformation by providing next generation connectivity solutions to customers and corporates.
