For the first time, Westpac Fiji customers can purchase Chinese yuan directly from Fiji dollars.
Westpac Fiji General Manager Adrian Hughes said this delivers considerable convenience to customers because it saves customers the added cost of having to convert Fiji dollars to US dollars before being able to convert to Chinese yuan.
Hughes also said that the direct trading of the Fiji dollar/Chinese Yuan means Westpac customers can remit funds back home to China in Chinese yuan.
He said it is a significant offer for Westpac customers and a key milestone for Westpac as they grow in this market and this currency is internationalized.
