“It places the power of managing your investment in the tip of your fingertips, it allows you to monitor your portfolio, explore new investment opportunities and stay informed about market trends.”

These sessions are designed to introduce young Fijians to the fundamentals of investing, budgeting, and long-term financial planning in an engaging and relatable format.

The initiative aligns with Fiji’s broader national goals to improve financial literacy and economic participation.

The app is now available for download on major platforms, and UTOF encourages all Fijians especially youth and first-time investors to explore its features and begin their journey toward financial independence.

By automating key processes, UTOF states the new system will drive efficiency and scalability across its services while opening the market to more ordinary Fijians.
