FunTokenz resellers in Lae

Lae is Papua New Guinea's industrial and freight capital, and the money there moves the way the cargo does — fast, in cash, and in volume. Between the wharf, the Lae Market, Eriku, Top Town and the Bumbu and Malahang settlements, thousands of people are paid weekly or fortnightly in notes. Very few of them hold a card that works online.

A FunTokenz agent in Lae is normally a trade store, a mobile-money and airtime counter, or a small shop on Huon Road, Coronation Drive or around Eriku's bus stops. You hand over kina, the agent issues you a FunTokenz code, and that code can be spent online immediately at any merchant that accepts FunTokenz. There is no application form, no minimum balance and no waiting for a card in the post.

Because Lae is the road head for the Highlands Highway, agents there also serve travellers heading up to Mt Hagen and Goroka, and people coming down from Morobe's rural LLGs who only get to town every few weeks. If you are one of those customers, it is worth buying a slightly larger denomination while you are in Lae so you are not stuck without credit until your next trip.
