Vodafone enables international money transfer from Cook Islands to Fiji through M-PAiSA

Great news for Fijians who have their loved ones in the Cook Islands as they can now send and receive money through the Vodafone M-PAiSA platform.

The service has been enabled by integrating the E-Moni Mobile Wallet in the Cook Islands and M-PAiSA in Fiji, and this will make it very easy for over 3,000 Fijians who are working in the Cook Islands mostly in the tourism sector, to be able to send money to their loved ones back home in Fiji.

Head of Vodafone eCommerce and Digital Financial Services Shailendra Prasad says Vodafone Cook Islands, which is part of the ATH Group is the E-Moni platform provider in the Cook Islands, and it has been possible for the two entities to be able to collaborate to make this service available for both their customers.

He says last year, Vodafone enabled cross-border remittance between Vanuatu and Fiji and vice-versa by integrating M-VATU and M-PAiSA mobile money platforms.

Prasad says with the addition of the Cook Islands to Fiji’s international money transfer service, another market where Vodafone is a mobile network and mobile money operator has been connected as part of interconnecting the regional markets for cross-border remittances.

He adds Vodafone Fiji is pleased to add the Cook Islands to the growing list of countries from where remittances can be received directly into M-PAISA.

He says M-PAiSA currently brings into Fiji around $48 million every month in personal remittances, and the addition of the Cook Islands will further boost IMT inwards.

Vodafone Cook Islands CEO Phillip Henderson says they are proud to introduce this service, further solidifying their dedication to providing solutions that meet the evolving needs of our community.

Vodafone Fiji operates its award-winning M-PAiSA platform as M-Vatu in Vanuatu, M-Tala in Samoa, E-Moni in the Cook Islands and M-PAiSA in Kiribati.
