Sri Lanka’s Softlogic Stockbrokers launches StockB mobile app

Softlogic Stockbrokers has launched StockB, a mobile investment platform designed to offer a unified trading, research, and portfolio management service for investors on the Colombo Stock Exchange.

The platform aims to make investing simpler and more accessible by bringing real-time market data, interactive charting, technical analysis, stock recommendations, and macroeconomic data into a single system, the stockbroking firm said.

Beyond share trading, the mobile application also automates basic administrative tasks, enabling clients to handle online agreement processing, payments, and receipts digitally to reduce manual paperwork.

The app expands direct stock market access for everyday retail investors, Softlogic Stockbrokers Director and Chief Executive Officer Dihan Dedigama said.

“With this trading app, it will take significant time out of an investor needing to connect with a broker if they don’t need to, and this is the start of a new journey to take the stock market to our retail investors,” Dedigama said.

The application is now available as a free download for both existing and new clients.

The platform addresses long-standing fragmentation in the local market, where retail investors often had to consult multiple disjointed channels to check market research, view portfolio balances, and place trade orders.

Softlogic Stockbrokers Head of IT Mohan Abeysundara said the platform was designed to eliminate friction across the entire user journey rather than serve as a basic transaction portal.

“We didn’t want to merely digitize the trading screen; we wanted to streamline the entire customer experience.From digital agreement signing to receiving crucial market alerts, we eliminated unnecessary manual friction,” Abeysundara said.

Abeysundara added that combining company research, trading tips, and push notifications alongside live market prices provides investors with the context needed to make informed choices on their own.

Speaking at an accompanying panel discussion, Finetech Holdings Chief Executive Clehan Pulle noted that artificial intelligence adoption in Sri Lanka remains low at around 6.2 percent. Pulle said platforms that process complex data for everyday users help level the playing field between institutional and retail participants.

StockB will operate as an evolving digital investment companion, with further features planned as client needs change. (Colombo/Sep8/2026)
