Payments in Papua New Guinea: The BPNG operates the country's real-time gross settlement arrangements, and the banking market is concentrated in a handful of banks led by BSP (Bank South Pacific) and Kina Bank; everyday digital payments lean heavily on bank mobile apps and wallets, with BSP's mobile banking and MiCash and Kina Bank's app-based wallets widely used, plus Digicel's CellMoni mobile money on the telecom side. Outside Port Moresby and a few urban centres, cash and mobile wallets matter far more than branch or card infrastructure.
