More Fijian businesses are now tapping into Vodafone’s M-PAiSA QR Pay mobile platform as a mode of payment in light of the recent COVID-19 pandemic.

The network’s new initiative that was established last year has so far processed around 22,000 transactions worth $6million and registered sixty local businesses.

Territory Executive M-PAiSA, Krishneel Reddy says they received a major boost to their QR mobile platform at the beginning of the year.

“COVID-19 was another way in which our business did pick up. So a lot of businesses thought of a new way of doing business and they wanted to go cashless as customers could not come to their offices.”

There has also been an increase in MPAiSA remittances.
