Fiji has a stable financial and banking system, but the international services division of a U.S. or Fiji bank should be consulted for recommendations regarding the best method for a given transaction.
Options for payment include:

  • Telegraphic Transfers

  • Cash in Advance

  • Commercial Bills of Exchange

  • An Open Account

  • Letters of Credit

A letter of credit is a very secure form of payment and is used frequently for new or unknown clients perceived to offer relatively more risk of nonpayment.
