As a leading technology provider, Vodafone Fiji delivers cutting-edge technology to all Fijians and has stamped its mark in the Pacific region.

“At Vodafone Fiji we spare no effort in being a world-class organization and continue to invest in technology that powers the future. Since our inception in 1994, we continue to explore new boundaries in the mobile telecommunications realm, bringing to all Fijians the next level of mobile innovation.

Seamless digital card issuance for Vodafone Fiji

With the Entrust Digital Card Solution (delivered through an SDK), cardholders can now benefit from digital card issuance directly in the M-PAiSA app thanks to the Issuer TSP Hub (iTSP) for Mastercard Digital Enablement Service (MDES). The digital card can then be pushed to e-commerce merchants, for a seamless and secure check-out experience during online purchases. Furthermore, thanks to the Entrust NFC Issuer Wallet, Vodafone Fiji was able to create their own in-app wallet, allowing cardholders with an Android phone to tap & pay their purchases in-store from their phone, without the need to pass through a third-party app. This offers a digital-first payment experience to Vodafone Fiji users.

“We are proud that Vodafone Fiji selected Entrust to provide seamless digital card solutions. With our end-to-end integrated solutions, proven financial expertise, and strong presence in the region, Entrust is uniquely positioned to power the digital and payment card strategy of Vodafone Fiji,” said Tony Ball, CEO of Entrust.
