‘Letters’: M-PAiSA Or MyCash Wallet

Digicel MyCash and Vodafone M-PAiSA are mobile wallets that let us have electronic cash available at our fingertips. Removing the need for a bank account, M-PAiSA and MyCash provide a way to make fast, reliable, safe, and convenient daily financial transactions—all at the convenience of our mobile phones.

These two are fast becoming the preferred payment methods for many businesses among Fijians. The cashless payment options through mobile phones make work easy, avoiding time wastage, waiting in queues for services, traffic jams, or parking problems, hassles, and frustrations.

However, if there are “technical glitches,” a well-known term in Fijian societies, affecting both platforms, M-PAiSA and MyCash, it is therefore very crucial for both service providers to address them immediately as well as fortify the security features of both platforms to avoid future issues.

The Fijian families need commitments to the security of their accounts and money to access financial transactions without compromising the integrity of both systems. Let’s all move forward to encourage others and promote cashless societies in Fiji once we are assured of better security of our user accounts via mobile phones.
