Aldwyn Wayne, CEO of WiPay stated, “Our renewed contract with the Government of Grenada is a testament to our dedication to providing cutting-edge digital payment solutions. We are committed to ensuring that funds reach those in need quickly and securely, enhancing the efficiency of government programs and contributing to financial inclusion.”

Minister of Education David Andrews commented, “We are very happy we are able to move away from paper-based vouchers and capitalize on technology. The WiPay platform allows us to support parents and students more efficiently. We have engaged WiPay directly, and their team will be in Grenada to train local vendors on using the new machines, ensuring that payments to beneficiaries can commence promptly.”

WiPay’s GOVPAY Digital Payment Management System will facilitate seamless payouts for various government initiatives, including the Uniform Grant, Book Grant and Back-to-School programs. This system allows for the instant issuance of grants, eliminating the need for physical checks and reducing costs and pilferage.
