PAYMENTS of services via the M-PAiSA mobile wallet are now accepted by the Fiji Revenue and Customs Service (FRCS) at all its branches as well as at the Container Freight Stations (CFS) Customs Fiji-wide.
This has been made possible through a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) signed in Suva yesterday between FRCS and M-PAiSA wallet service provider Vodafone Fiji.
The MOA will enable M-PAiSA users to make payments at FRCS through QR Pay, improving customer experience by streamlining the payment process for greater accessibility and efficiency for people across Fiji.
“Our decision to integrate the M-PAiSA wallet aligns seamlessly with FRCS’s strategic vision of becoming a digitally driven and future-focused organisation,” FRCS chief executive officer Udit Singh said in a joint statement afterwards.
“As outlined in our Strategic Plan, technology is a key enabler of transformation.”
The move, he said, paved the way for cashless payments at all FRCS branches and CFS Customs in Fiji. M-PAiSA customers can now use Vodafone Fiji’s QR Pay to make digital payments for taxes, duties and VAT payment to the FRCS.
General manager Digital Financial Services (M-PAiSA) Shailendra Prasad said FRCS has now been added to a growing list of business, statutory and government entities that are integrating M-PAiSA as a convenient payment option for their clients.
“With over 500,000 registered users and 4000 business outlets accepting M-PAiSA payment, it provides a highly accessible, convenient and secure payment platform without the need to carry large amounts of cash,” Mr Prasad said.
