TLTB TAKES SENIOR MANAGERS MEETING & TALANOA SESSION TO BUREBASAGA
June 17, 2025
As part of its new business direction, the iTaukei Land Trust Board (TLTB) has taken a significant step to strengthen the delivery and management of its Taukei Development Fund Facility (TDFF) loans by partnering with Software Factory Ltd (SFL) to develop and implement a dedicated loan management system.
With more than 60 iTaukei individuals and landowning units already part of the TDFF loan portfolio, TLTB CEO Mr. Solomone Nata stated that it is now critical to establish a reliable and modern system to manage loan disbursements, track repayments, and monitor borrower performance.
“We believe it is only proper to get a purpose-built platform in place that allows us to efficiently manage the entire lifecycle of these loans and provide better support to our landowners,” said Mr. Nata.
The new system, known as LoanWorksNGX, will be designed and deployed by Software Factory Ltd, an iTaukei-owned software company with a strong track record in fintech solutions.
SFL CEO Mr. Semi Tukana confirmed that the contract includes the following deliverables:
· Full loan lifecycle management (from application to closure)
· Unlimited user licenses with mobile accessibility
· On-site hosting and cloud integration
· Training for TLTB staff (including IT, Finance, Trust, and TDF teams)
· 30-day post-implementation support
· Compliance with Reserve Bank of Fiji standards and ISO27001 information security protocol
Mr. Tukana added, “We’re proud to support TLTB and contribute to this visionary step in empowering iTaukei landowners. This modern solution is designed to boost efficiency and financial transparency while helping landowners thrive in the areas of commerce and investment.”
The new credit facility and loan management system is scheduled for launch in July 2025, setting the foundation for smarter, secure, and inclusive financial services under TLTB’s evolving mandate.
