Sole Fintech, a rising star in the digital financial sector, is rapidly expanding its customer base, having already registered over 31,000 users. The company is boldly aiming to add more than 80,000 customers before the year’s end, reflecting considerable trust from its users, with transaction volumes exceeding $24 million so far.
Led by CEO Mereia Volavola, Sole Fintech is on a mission to improve financial access for underserved communities, setting a target of reaching 100,000 investors by year-end. This expansion is driven by the platform’s focus on assisting workers—especially those living abroad—by simplifying saving and remitting funds home. Volavola elaborates on this, noting that users can manage expenses like utilities and family shopping remotely, ensuring financial discipline and control from afar.
Fiji’s communal lifestyle presents significant opportunities for group savings and collective financial management, something Volavola sees as a natural fit for Sole Fintech’s services. Each user has transparent access to their financial activities, including transaction history, balance checks, and account statements.
This ambition follows a recent accolade where Sole Fintech achieved international recognition as runner-up at the Alliance for Financial Inclusion Global Policy Forum, spotlighting Fiji’s potential in fintech. This achievement highlights the company’s commitment to reaching wider audiences and integrating marginalized groups into the financial fold.
With the growing importance of digital finance in Fiji, as exemplified by other initiatives like Vodafone Fiji’s partnership with Saver.Global to bolster financial literacy, there is a clear trajectory towards making financial services more inclusive and accessible. Sole Fintech’s efforts are aligned with this broader regional trend of promoting financial inclusion and technological adoption.
As Sole Fintech continues its expansion, its role in redefining financial accessibility in the Pacific region becomes more significant, potentially paving the way for greater economic empowerment and sustainability. This movement not only enhances individual financial health but also strengthens community resilience in navigating modern financial landscapes, promising a more inclusive financial future for all.
