Thursday 8th September, 2011 Fiji: Digicel Fiji has today announced that its customers can now visit any one of ANZ’s 16 branches to deposit or withdraw cash from their Digicel Mobile Money wallets.

Digicel Mobile Money has transformed Digicel phones into electronic wallets offering customers a convenient and secure way to transfer money to any mobile phone in Fiji, pay Digicel post-paid bills, top-up and deposit or withdraw cash from their electronic wallets. Digicel Mobile Money also has bill payments with FEA, Water Authority, Housing Authority, Unwired Fiji and Sky Pacific largely due to the reliable, convenient and secured money transfers.

David Butler, CEO Digicel Fiji, said; “The public response to Digicel Mobile Money has been remarkable and thousands of customers are already using it as a secure and simple way of transferring and handling money no matter where they are in Fiji. We are delighted to add ANZ’s 16 branches to the growing network supporting the service ensuring Digicel Mobile Money is the most convenient mobile money option for Fijians.”
