Vodafone Fiji Ltd’s M-PAiSA QR pay has been gaining momentum as U-Sabai Thai Traditional Massage and Spa became the first massage spa to come on board this platform.

According to the Vodafone manager for sponsorship Adriu Vakarau, they have been working hard in trying to encourage businesses to change from using cash and move towards cashless.

“Our QR pay is just the perfect solution to make the transition and we are thankful that many businesses have taken on board the QR pay.

“If you go to the supermarket just here in Flagstaff, they are using QR pay at their counters and it’s very important that we embrace the change.”

He said this was the new norm as they would try to expand and encourage businesses to come on board and use QR pay.

Joeli Leqa, one of the board directors for U-Sabai Thai Traditional Massage and Spa said one of the main reasons they decided to move into this direction and inquire in this payment as it was about building customer relationships.

“We believe we can take a step further and making it easy for the customer in terms of payment that this would be one way where we can gain their loyalty,” Mr Leqa said.

“What we found during the COVID lockdown, not only our spa but also our gift shop downstairs had a lot of people calling and asking if we had a platform where they could pay online and we didn’t have it at that time.”

A total of 81 businesses were stated by Vodafone to have signed up for M-PAiSA in over 520 outlets with a daily average of two to three business, signing up for M-PAISA.
