Post Fiji Pte Limited has officially rejoined the M-PAiSA agent network, a significant development poised to improve financial access across Fiji, especially in remote areas. This collaboration comes at a crucial moment, as families in rural and maritime regions prepare for the upcoming school year, providing essential support during this time.
The integration of M-PAiSA services at Post Fiji locations will offer parents and guardians in these communities the ability to conveniently access government funds designated for school supplies, such as stationery, bags, and uniforms. They will also benefit from the conveniences of cashless transactions via M-PAiSA QR at these outlet points.
Mr. Isaac Mow, the CEO of Post Fiji, highlighted the importance of this partnership, stating that Post Fiji’s extensive network serves as a crucial link between urban financial services and remote populations. He emphasized that by utilizing this existing infrastructure, financial services can reach those who need them the most, enabling seamless cash-in and cash-out services alongside cashless payment options.
Shailendra Prasad, the general manager of Digital Financial Services, expressed enthusiasm for Post Fiji’s re-entry into the M-PAiSA agent network. He noted that Post Fiji is ideally positioned to enhance outreach in rural and maritime regions, with trained personnel ready to provide secure and professional services.
The collaboration is expected to result in substantial savings in both travel time and costs for local residents. With M-PAiSA services available at nearby post offices, individuals will have access to a full suite of financial services without having to journey far from their communities.
This partnership reflects a joint commitment to promoting financial inclusion and supporting the economic well-being of all Fijians, regardless of their location. Additionally, it will create more opportunities for social welfare beneficiaries to receive their monthly allowances through M-PAiSA at Post Fiji outlets, significantly benefiting thousands of rural users who receive remittances from abroad.
Overall, this re-establishment of services enriches the financial landscape of Fiji, fostering economic opportunities and ensuring that essential resources are accessible to those who need them most.
