LANKAQR was launched to digitize the payment system in Sri Lanka, and is aimed at entrepreneurs and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

The payment system uses scannable QR code stickers, which are provided by LANKAQR's member organizations. The QR codes can be scanned using a proprietary app on a mobile device, which is provided by the user's financial institution.
