eMudhra Limited is a globally recognized provider of digital trust services, specializing in secure digital signatures, authentication frameworks, and certificate-based solutions across international markets.
This collaboration brings together eMudhra’s global expertise in Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) technologies with LankaSign’s established role as Sri Lanka’s only commercially operating Certification Service Provider, trusted for enabling legally recognized digital signatures within the financial sector, corporates, and government institutions.
By combining these strengths, the solution delivers a secure and scalable remote signature capability tailored for Sri Lanka’s digital landscape.
Through this initiative, Commercial Bank is set to introduce Sri Lanka’s first remote digital signature facility within the banking sector using eMudhra’s eSignature platform emSigner, integrated with LankaSign, further reinforcing its commitment to driving digital transformation and pioneering industry-first innovations that support the country’s evolving digital economy.
The launch marks a significant milestone in Sri Lanka’s digital transformation journey and further strengthens LankaPay’s commitment to enabling secure, innovative, and inclusive digital infrastructure.
Through this collaboration, organizations and individuals in Sri Lanka can remotely sign documents securely using eMudhra’s platform and LankaSign digital certificates, eliminating the need for physical paperwork, manual signatures, and in-person verification processes.
By removing reliance on printing, scanning, couriering, and physical meetings, it significantly improves operational efficiency while reducing administrative overheads.
The event also featured a panel discussion titled “Digital Signatures as the Foundation of Digital Trust”.
