Sri Lanka processes large-value interbank settlements through RTGS/SLIPS. Retail transfers typically use ACH or local clearing networks, while cross-border wires enter via SWIFT.
The primary settlement currency is LKR — Sri Lankan Rupee. Foreign-currency wires are converted at the receiving bank's prevailing rate unless a specific currency account is held at the beneficiary institution.
