The Cyprea Card Centre became the agent of HSBC, Sri Lanka for Visa & MasterCard’s, in 1988. Since the time of Cyprea Card Centre’s establishment was a time of increased growth of tourism, the objective of Card Centre was to provide a service to the local businesses whereby they in turn could enhance their tourism related activities by supporting the clients' credit cards.
Being two of the most popular credit cards around the world, the unparalleled expertise of our partners HSBC and the dedicated support of our customers, the Cyprea Card Centre has been able to offer the highest level of acquiring and issuing of Visa & MasterCard’s.
The Card Centre services further developed in 1989 to bring in the JCB card, one of the most widely used credit cards by the Japanese. Our technical support system includes programming and servicing Electronic Data Capture terminals.

Electronic Data Capturing Terminals (EDCT)
Our Electronic Data Capturing Terminals offer merchants the ability to process credit card transactions (both Authorization and Capture) with ease and simplicity.
Furthermore, our terminals are connected to Visa/ MasterCard International via Hong Kong whereas all other Banks are connected through the local system. Hence, our systems are much faster and will continue to run even if local systems are inoperative.
All Visa and MasterCard credit card transactions completed via the EDCT will be reimbursed on the following day after settlement. In additional, our staff will attend to any terminal breakdowns (with a replacement terminal provided) and stationary requests.
Wireless EDCT
Aimed at the portable/mobile temporary location market, wireless EDC terminals are the most exciting and practical wireless electronic transaction platform available in the market today. If your business is service oriented, our wireless terminals are the perfect solution for maximum flexibility and efficiency.
Manual System
As you know, unlike other service providers we process and deal with refunds, pre-authorization cancellations, and provision of manual authorizations very effectively. In order to ensure that your business would continue to render possible service even when the electronic POS system is down, these services are also important.
Account Relationship Manager
We will assign a dedicated Relationship Manager, who would be your primary contact at the card centre. He/she will make a service call on a monthly basis in order address to any concerns.
