What is FriMi?

We’re what new-age banking looks and feels-like. We are Sri Lanka’s First-ever Digital Bank Experience, Mobile Wallet & Payment System all wrapped up in One Single Lifestyle App packed with loads of awesome features. A complete cashless, paperless, signature-less and branch-less platform. The application brings together a suite of innovative technology including digital tokenization and bio-metric authentications which guarantee all accounts are safe from cyber and mobile threats.

At FriMi we believe there is a better way for banking, one that is humane, more efficient and less confining for customers. We're obsessively dedicated to achieve this, and are continuously striving to achieve it through informed data sources.

FriMi started in 2016 as an innovative digital initiative of the corporate management team of the Nations Trust Bank. Since 2017 FriMi's been running as a fully fledged digital banking Experience powered by Nations Trust Bank. 

The early growth of FriMi witnessed many challenges from launching the product to wanting to try out-of-the-box things while adhering to the local banking regulations. After all, FriMi is a "Bank".

With our dedicated, diverse team working in full-swing, FriMi pushed it's way through and achieved it's first milestone in December 2018 by reaching one billion in transaction value. FriMi's path ahead is more like the "road less traveled", but we proudly believe that taking ideas to execution is our strength. We take our vision to war and win it. At FriMi, the hustle never stops.
