How to pay & buy online without a Credit Card in Sri Lanka?

If you have a credit card such as VISA, Master Card, American Express or Debit Card then you can easily register for pay pal, ebay or any other online site to purchase goods via internet. But to get a Debit Card you need a Bank Account and to get a Credit Card you need a Bank Account and proof of Minimum Annual Income. (For Example you need more than LKR 360,000 to get Sampath Credit Card).

But some students still depend on their parents and people who are self-employed may not have a Debit or Credit card. In this post, I am going to explain you how to pay online and purchase things over internet without a credit card.

Best option to pay online without a bank account or credit card in Sri Lanka is using Sampath Webcard.
