PacSuper is pleased to announce the formal launch of I-WE Supa, a voluntary retirement savings pathway developed to support women across Papua New Guinea. The initiative is designed specifically for women in the informal sector, as well as those balancing childbearing and caring responsibilities, enabling long-term financial security with flexibility, accessibility and ease.
I-WE Supa is administered within PacSuper, the oldest superannuation fund in Papua New Guinea, and is powered through PRIMS — the only PNG-based superannuation administration platform. This system supports voluntary and irregular contributions through mobile payment channels, allowing members to save without needing to visit a bank branch.
The flexibility of I-WE Supa makes it suitable for market vendors, SME operators, seasonal earners and caregivers who may contribute as income allows ensuring retirement saving becomes possible even when earnings are inconsistent month-to-month.
Key features include:
- Voluntary contributions from K100 per year, up to K20,000 per payment
- Mobile-enabled payments through Vodafone, Digicel, MiBank & BSP, seven days a week
- Real-time balance visibility via the PacSuper Member Portal
- Member benefits including discounts through Kimbe Bay Shipping & Brian Bell
- Group Life Insurance access for PNGIWEC members
- Housing eligibility after five years
- Ability to save in PGK or AUD
“Small, irregular contributions, made when income allows, can still grow into meaningful savings over time,” said Chris Hagan, CEO of PacSuper. “Our PRIMS Platform allows members to save on their terms, from wherever they are, empowering more women to build financial security for their future retirement.”
I-WE Supa and PacSuper – working together to provide more opportunities for more Papa New Guineans in their retirement.
