mHITs (pronounced Em-HITS), the leading Australian FinTech mobile remittance pioneer, in partnership with Vodafone Fiji and Vodafone Cook Islands has launched a cross border remittance service between the Cook Islands and Fiji.
In another regional first, the service will allow instantaneous cross border transfers between Vodafone E-Moni Cook Islands and Vodafone M-PAiSA Fiji mobile money services.
“We are privileged to be able to participate in this wonderful initiative” says mHITs founder and CEO Mr Harold Dimpel. “Together with our partners Vodafone Fiji, Vodafone Cook Islands and assistance from the UNCDF, we are able to make a very positive impact on the region by allowing money to move more easily.” he continues.
mHITs has been working in the Pacific Islands for many years and has pioneered multiple first-to-market services in the region. This includes working with regional mobile network operators Digicel and Vodafone, but also via customer-facing services such as the multi-award winning remittance service https://www.rocketremit.com.
Vodafone Cook Islands will add the international money transfer service to the growing suite of services available under its E-Moni digital wallet. Vodafone operates the award-winning M-PAiSA mobile money platform in Fiji, M-Vatu in Vanuatu, M-Tala in Samoa, E-Moni in the Cook Islands and M-PAiSA in Kiribati. It plans to interconnect all these markets for inward and outward money transfer to make it convenient and less costly to send money across the Pacific.
Funding and technical assistance provided by UNCDF helped to catalyse the development of the solution and prepare it for market deployment.
Under the Pacific Digital Economy Programme, UNCDF aims to work with public and private stakeholders to build an ecosystem in the Pacific that enables digital financial services to reach and improve the lives of last-mile communities. The Programme is jointly implemented by UNCDF, the UN Development Programme (UNDP) and UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), with support from the European Union and Governments of Australia and New Zealand.
