They can make the transfers via the digicelinternational.com website to Digicel MyCash mobile wallet app in Fiji, Samoa, and Tonga, within minutes.

The recipient can then use the money for their purchases or transfer money from the MyCash wallet.

The new website and wallet app allow customers to top up, send money, pay bills, and more, on a single platform.

The mobile wallet app can be downloaded via Google Play and the App Store.

Customers can send money by choosing the ‘Send Money’ option and following the instructions given.

They need to select a destination and choose ‘Digicel mobile money account’ to make the transfer.

Digicel International GM Christophe Justens said: “We have been in the airtime remittance, or Top Up, business for many years and we wanted to find a way to provide to our customers the same experience when sending money.

“We wanted to provide an easy and transparent way for people to send and receive money. With this partnership, we are doing exactly that for all our customers.”

WorldRemit Asia Pacific MD Scott Eddington said: “We are proud of our history of helping customers send money back home to friends and family in the Pacific Islands, and this new partnership with Digicel will strengthen our offering and give even more choice to consumers.

“Longer term, partnerships like this help us to reduce the costs of remittances to the Pacific, putting more money in the pockets of loved ones back home.

“It also helps to support our financial inclusion goals, ensuring funds can flow to recipients even where they do not have a traditional banking relationship.”
