Island Enterprises Limited (IEL) has taken a significant step forward in its digital transformation journey with the successful rollout of M-Selen across its retail outlets in Honiara (Ranadi and Kukum), Auki, and Noro.
Customers can now enjoy fast, secure, and cashless payments using the M-Selen mobile wallet or USSD (*123#), with zero transaction fees, a statement by M-Selen yesterday said.
This enhancement reflects IEL’s ongoing commitment to improve customer convenience while supporting the broader shift towards digital financial services in Solomon Islands.
Beyond customer-facing benefits, the integration delivers substantial operational efficiencies for IEL. From its head office in Ranadi, the company now has centralised control over branch financial operations, including real-time transaction monitoring, streamlined fund transfers between outlets and bank accounts, and improved management of outlet liquidity.
This capability strengthens IEL’s financial oversight, enhances responsiveness across its network, and enables more informed, data-driven decision-making at the management level.
Majidul Haque, head of M-Selen, said Island Enterprises Limited’s adoption of M-Selen demonstrates how forward-thinking businesses can enhance both customer experience and operational efficiency.
“Customers benefit from seamless payments, while IEL gains real-time visibility and control over its retail network,” he said.
Meanwhile Jess Bradford, CEO of Island Enterprises Limited, said the rollout of M-Selen is a key milestone in our digital strategy.
“It not only simplifies the payment experience for our customers but also significantly strengthens how we manage and optimize our operations across all locations. This positions IEL for continued growth in an increasingly digital economy.”
The initiative reinforces IEL’s position as an industry leader embracing innovation and modern financial solutions.
It also highlights the growing role of digital payments in driving efficiency, transparency, and scalability for businesses across the Solomon Islands.
