Vodafone Fiji’s Deepak Baran explains how the company partners with fintechs to boost connectivity, support digital inclusion and tackle financial crime

Vodafone Fiji is a 100% locally owned entity that is continually committed to enhancing mobile connectivity for the people of Fiji. First founded in 1994, the organisation explores new boundaries within the world of telecommunications to offer all Fijians the opportunity to engage with the next era of mobile innovation. 

The organisation is partnering with a number of technology providers who based themselves within the financial technology (fintech) sector. Some of the notable payment networks it partners with include the likes of Visa and MasterCard in order to boost its fintech offerings.

Deepak Baran, Vodafone Fiji’s Head of Financial Technology, oversees the strategic direction of the company's financial technology initiatives. Having been with Vodafone Fiji for over a decade, he is well-versed in a range of verticals on offer, including transit, mobile and value-added services the organisation offers to customers - most of which include financial technology. 

“We also do strategy formulation and change management, which is very critical,” he says. “We are looking at developing nations and what's happening around the globe and try to see and take some learnings and replicate that here in Fiji.”
