Local telecommunications giant Dhiraagu signed an agreement with Maldives Inland Revenue Authority (MIRA), on Sunday, which allows customers to make payments via DhiraaguPay.
The payment partner agreement was signed at a ceremony held at MIRA, with Dhiraagu’s Chief Financial Officer Robin Wall and Deputy Commissioner General of Taxation Asma Shafeeu.
According to Dhiraagu, the agreement was signed “as part of the company’s drive to contribute towards a cashless economy”.
With DhiraaguPay as a payment option, customers can enjoy “a more seamless and convenient experience” when making the payments to MIRA.
Dhiraagu stated that customers can also benefit from instant settlement and real-time status updates via the portal.
Moreover, both individuals and companies can pay their vehicle, vessel, or company fees, violation charges, and zakat-al-mal through the DhiraaguPay option available on ‘VaaruPay’.
“We are committed to enrich our customers' digital experience and drive the nation towards a digital payments society. Hence, it gives us great pleasure to be a payment partner of MIRA and to provide a convenient, secure, and reliable means of payment option for our customers. This eliminates the need to visit MIRA Collection Centres and allows them to make payments at their convenience via DhiraaguPay", stated Chief Financial Officer Robin Wall.
Deputy Commissioner General of Taxation Asma Shafeeu commented, “It is our pleasure to welcome DhiraaguPay onboard as a payment partner for VaaruPay. This is part of our efforts to make MIRA's services as convenient and accessible to taxpayers as possible.
“This digital wallet will provide greater convenience to taxpayers in making their payments. We are looking forward to enhancing customers' digital payment journey with DhiraaguPay, and to introducing more such payable services in the future”.
Currently, there are over 300 registered merchants which include restaurants, shops, salons, hospitals, and clinics across the country accepting DhiraaguPay service. All Dhiraagu mobile customers and even customers on any other local network are eligible to use DhiraaguPay service to pay bills, transfer cash, and more.
