Abraham says the enhanced FijiClear system is a perfect example of such an initiative, offering a robust solution that promises to deliver tangible benefits to Fijian consumers.

He emphasizes that by enabling 24×7 real-time transfers for transactions under $50, 000, FijiClear reduces dependency on physical cash and cheques, minimizing risks and costs associated with these traditional methods.

Abraham adds this is a visionary step by the Reserve Bank of Fiji which looks to ensure that consumers are at the forefront of financial innovation.
