A local business has innovated payment methods for seasonal workers making it easier for them to help their families purchase items.

Samoa Stationery and Books Limited has partnered KlickEx, a leading worldwide money transfer company.

This partnership will enable Recognised Seasonal Employment workers to send money with ease to Samoa and to easily purchase goods for their families in Samoa.

In a statement, SSAB said RSE workers contribute to the economy and the development of the nation.

“For many RSE workers, the main motivation for working overseas is to provide for to their families back home. However, money transfer methods can often be time-consuming and inconvenient for our people. This is where the partnership between SSAB and KlickEx comes into play,” said SSAB

“KlickEx has proven themselves as a reliable and efficient money transfer service provider, known for their secure and fast mobile money transfers.

“By partnering with KlickEx, SSAB aims to offer a solution for RSE workers to easily purchase products from overseas but to be picked up by their families in Samoa.”

SSAB is one of the biggest one-stop shops in Samoa.

The process is straightforward and user-friendly. RSE workers can use the KlickEx platform to send money directly to SSAB. Upon receipt of the funds, SSAB will notify the recipients in Samoa, who can then visit any major SSAB branch to uplift their order. This will reduce the need for the recipients to handle cash, ensuring a safer and more convenient shopping experience.

“The four main benefits of this platform to our RSE Workers and their families are convenience. Families can shop for necessities without waiting for cash transfers to clear. Direct transfers to SSAB reduces the risks associated with carrying large amounts of cash,” said SSAB.

“The streamlined process ensures quicker access to funds and products and lower transfer fees compared to traditional money transfer methods.”

The partnership between SSAB and KlickEx is aimed at making a significant positive impact on the lives of RSE workers and their families in Samoa. By addressing the challenges faced by these workers, the partnership promises to enhance and improve the overall quality of life for many Samoan households whose members are working tirelessly overseas.

As the global economy and technology continue to evolve, innovative solutions like the SSAB-KlickEx partnership demonstrate the power of collaboration in creating meaningful change.

For RSE workers, this initiative offers a convenient way to send money home; but it also connects them to their loved ones in Samoa, offering support across borders.
