Sri Lanka Insurance Corporation General Limited (SLICGL), the nation’s No. 1 general insurer, has launched the ‘SLICGL Digital’ mobile application, marking a significant step in its digital transformation journey. Backed by over 60 years of trusted, government-supported service, SLICGL aims to combine institutional credibility with modern digital convenience.
The new app enables customers to manage motor insurance services seamlessly from a single platform. Users can access policy details, track claim status, renew policies, and view their motor card directly through their mobile devices. The app also allows users to download a digital insurance card, in line with guidelines issued by the Insurance Regulatory Commission of Sri Lanka (IRCSL), effective May 1, 2026.
Designed to simplify insurance interactions, the SLICGL Digital App offers faster and more convenient access to services while eliminating the need to contact call centres or visit branches. It addresses long-standing perceptions that insurance processes are complex and time-consuming, positioning SLICGL as a technology-driven insurer catering to vehicle owners, young professionals, and digitally engaged customers.
The launch comes alongside strong performance in the company’s motor insurance segment in 2025, further reinforcing its position as the undisputed leader in motor insurance and Sri Lanka’s No. 1 general insurer.
The SLICGL Digital App is now available for download on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
