The Bank of South Pacific (BSP) is set to invest over $600 million to enhance its services across the South Pacific, with a strong emphasis on digital banking, operational resilience, and an improved customer experience. Mark Robinson, BSP Group Chief Executive, announced that this substantial investment is part of their initiative called the Modernizing for Growth program.
The funds will be directed towards upgrading technology, expanding digital channels, improving infrastructure, and developing staff capabilities throughout the region. Robinson elaborated on the investment, stating, “As part of our Modernizing for Growth program, we are making an investment of a little over 600 million Fijian dollars over the next several years across the region in technology, digital channels, operational resilience, and talent development, which is a fancy word for saying training people.”
One of the key features of this initiative will be the introduction of next-generation deposit-taking ATMs, which have already seen a successful launch in Papua New Guinea. Further improvements will involve upgrades to existing branches, the establishment of new branches, and continuous modernization of the digital channels available to customers.
BSP Fiji Chair Symon George Brewis-Weston emphasized that the bank’s ambitions extend beyond just financial results. He acknowledged the critical role customers and partners play in the bank’s mission, noting, “Your decision to bank, invest and insure with BSP gives real meaning to our purpose and holds us to the highest standard of service and integrity.”
With these developments, Pacific customers can look forward to utilizing new tools such as concierge apps and next-generation ATMs. This strategic investment not only aims to strengthen financial access in the region but also to bolster economic growth, promising a brighter future for BSP and its customers.
