WiPay launches new solution for ROOFS programme
WiPay Group has launched an AI-led solution, GovPay2.0, to support the disbursement of funds under Jamaica's $10-billion ROOFS programme, which has disbursed over $8.25 billion to households affected by Hurricane Melissa. The new solution manages cash payments, allowing recipients to collect payments at designated locations or receive direct bank transfers.
WiPay Group has launched a new artificial intelligence (AI)-led solution to support the disbursement of funds under the $10-billion Restoration of Owner or Occupant Family Shelters (ROOFS) programme. The ROOFS programme, launched in January, supports recovery efforts for persons impacted by Hurricane Melissa. WiPay has been leading the technology infrastructure behind the programme, using the National Payments Company of Jamaica (NPCJ) to track funds and materials requested by recipients. The programme has disbursed over $8.25 billion to affected households. The new AI solution, GovPay2.0, manages cash payments, allowing recipients to be scheduled for collecting cash payments at over 100 associated locations or send payments directly to their bank account. WiPay's experience with a similar initiative during the COVID-19 pandemic informed the development of GovPay2.0. The company expects the new solution to alleviate current challenges and pain points in the programme.
