To promote digital payments and reduce cash use in Fiji, the Fiji Revenue and Customs Service now accepts M-PAiSA payments at all its branches and Container Freight Stations across the country.
This follows the signing of a Memorandum of Agreement between FRCS and Vodafone held at the FRCS Headquarters in Nasese, Suva.
In a joint statement, they say this agreement lets M-PAiSA users pay with QR Pay at FRCS offices, making payments easier and more convenient for people across the country.
FRCS CEO Udit Singh says the introduction of the M-PAiSA QR Payment platform expands the range of payment options available to taxpayers.
He says this platform is not only convenient, secure, and user-friendly, but it also enables cashless payments at all FRCS branches and CFS Customs in Fiji.
He adds that the move aligns with FRCS’s strategic goal of becoming a digitally driven and future-focused organisation, with technology as a key enabler of transformation.
M-PAiSA customers can now use the QR Pay feature to make digital payments for taxes, duties, and VAT directly to FRCS, by simply scanning the M-PAiSA QR code.
Vodafone’s General Manager of Digital Financial Services, Shailendra Prasad welcomed the partnership, saying it adds FRCS to the growing list of businesses and government entities using M-PAiSA.
He says with over 500,000 registered users and 4,000 business outlets accepting M-PAiSA payments, the platform is highly accessible, convenient, and secure, eliminating the need to carry large amounts of cash.
