The Reserve Bank of Fiji (RBF) has launched a new confidential disclosure platform aimed at strengthening oversight and tackling illegal financial activities in the country.
The dedicated section, now available on the RBF’s official website, allows members of the public to safely and confidentially report suspected breaches involving unlicensed financial service providers.
In a statement, the RBF said the initiative is part of its mandate to safeguard the integrity of Fiji’s financial system.
The platform enables reporting of a range of activities, including underground banking operations, unauthorised foreign currency exchanges, illegal money transfer services, and unregulated virtual asset providers.
It also covers the marketing or facilitation of virtual asset products within Fiji.
“By reporting unauthorised or unlicensed financial activities, members of the public greatly assist in preventing money laundering and terrorist financing,” the RBF said.
The Bank emphasised that public participation is critical in maintaining financial system stability and protecting consumers from potential fraud and exploitation.
Members of the public can submit reports through a confidential disclosure form, which allows individuals to remain anonymous if they choose.
The form also enables users to provide details of suspected entities, their relationship to the matter, and any supporting documentation.
Reports can be submitted electronically via email or sent by post to the RBF’s Financial Institutions Group in Suva.
The RBF said all disclosures will be treated with strict confidentiality, with follow-up conducted where necessary.
The move comes amid increasing concerns globally over illicit financial flows, unregulated remittance channels, and the rise of virtual asset-related risks.
Authorities say the platform is a proactive step to enhance monitoring and enforcement while encouraging greater accountability across Fiji’s financial sector.
