When Selita Matebau received her transfer money from her sister from Australia through MoneyGram, little did she know that she was blindly participating in a promotion that would be a game-changer.
In doing so, she won. Thanks to MH Money Express promotion, the 44-year-old solo mother of Qauia received $1000 plus this week to add to the money that was originally sent to her.
She is one of 10 lucky customers of the thousands of money transfer transactions organised by MH Money Express Limited.
“I like it. It’s a surprise for me. Why don’t you run it again,” Ms Matebau told the organisers when asked for her feedback.
MH Money Express general manager, Alok Mishra, said the MH Money Express is the super agent for MoneyGram money transfer in Fiji.
MoneyGram is an international remittance agency and is the second largest in the world with more than 198 countries and 320,000 agent locations worldwide.,
Mr Mishra said they were trying to do a lot more to penetrate more into the market as they already have quite a significant portion of the market share.
“This is a gift not only from us but from those who had sent you money too. Be sure to thank them and tell them to keep sending you money,” he laughed.
Mr Mishra said the promotion was a chance for the company to penetrate into the market more as they see a high demanding trend for money transfers nowadays.
“And from just agents, we became super agents and now we are spreading our wings,” he said.
“We are also providing the service of foreign exchange and money transfer in 28 outlets and our biggest strength are our outlets and extended opening hours.”
More promos assured
At the official presentation at Carpenters Finance on Ellery Street in Suva on Wednesday seven of the 10 winners were present.
In addressing them, Mr Mishra assured more of the promotion as such to come and advised customers to take advantage of the promotions in future.
