Sole, Your New Investment App

A new digital and invest­ment app, Sole, was re­cently introduced aimed at assisting customers with in­vestment and saving plans.

A first for Fiji and the South Pacific, the app will allow a sus­tainable wealth creation for the whole Pacific region and beyond.

Chief executive officer, Mereia Volavola said it was the first time that digital on-boarding was happening on a fintech plat­form.

“We want Sole customers to be savers rather than spenders,” Ms Volavola said.

“By building up their savings they can fund their small business, education opportunities, better health services and access to nutri­tious food.

“It’s a tool to assist better per­sonal financial management,” Ms Volavola said.

Benefits

The Sole Fintech App allows customers to have as many as 20 buckets to plan their expens­es, savings and investments.

For the unbanked and the marginalized communities in rural areas and on the islands would have the opportunity to save and invest at the same time.

Overseas remitters will have the choice on which bucket they can remit their funds to, like the payment for electric­ity bill, water bill, groceries, wed­dings, funerals or family projects.

Fiji citizens living abroad can also create their local Sole account.

Users can use their birth certifi­cate and voter ID card for ID docu­ments and the App will take a selfie photo of the person to match their photo ID.

Any individual can access Sole from anywhere in Fiji using their mobile phones, tablets or laptops as long as internet connection is available.
