What we plan to build next

These tools are planned for Papua New Guinea and are not yet available. None is a claim of approval, partnership or launch; each would only proceed after the necessary technical, legal and stakeholder review.

  • Pay It Now Transit. Tap-to-pay for PMV fares and public transport across PNG, with a physical card and the virtual wallet.
  • Digital Cash Sandbox. A proposed pilot environment for testing a tightly scoped payment workflow with defined participants, transaction limits, support procedures and evaluation criteria.
  • Virtual Accounts Expansion. Expanded Kina virtual account tools for businesses, with clearer references and automated reconciliation.
  • Merchant API. An API for custom payment integrations, such as checkout widgets, recurring billing and webhooks.
