Epic Lanka, a Certified Vendor

Visa International, Master Card and American Express Global card associations have chosen Epic Lanka as Certified Vendor for its 'Access Control Server Solution' used for secure payment processing.

Complying with 3D security for internet-based payment transactions, it is the preferred product with leading global banks and financial institutions worldwide, a spokesman for Epic Lanka (Pvt) Ltd said.

Epic Lanka goes on record as being the first and only Sri Lankan company to be appointed as a Certified Vendor for its Access Control Server Solution.

Executive Chairman and Managing Director, Epic Technology Group, Dr. Nayana Dehigama said, "We're no doubt proud of this achievement, which is not only an endorsement of the quality and excellence of our service, but also of what a Sri Lankan company can achieve in the international business arena."

"Credit goes to my entire team. The dedication and commitment they have put in to achieve this status was tremendous," he said. Set up in 1998, the Epic Technology Group provides technology of international standards to corporate and government organisations in Sri Lanka and in the region.

Director and CEO and chief architect of the product, Viraj Mudalige said, "This is a niche product, with a domain expertise which was assimilated, designed and developed in-house at EPIC Lanka. There is no doubt that the launch of this product will put Sri Lanka on the world map."

"In today's high tech digital society, having this solution reduces the risk of fraudulent transactions, because the card issuing bank has to conduct a verification and user authentication before sending the transaction to the card acquirer for payment authorisation," he said.

Epic also implemented its branchless banker solution for BSN Bank Malaysia, creating over 6,500 agents enabling BSN Bank to extend its reach nationwide and provide on-line real time banking services to the public through external service agents.
