What is Pama?
Pama is a free web-based app that earns you rewards and gives you secure access to your Opportunity Accounts, budgeting tools, resume builder, important documents and community events, from anywhere.
Pama Platform
A Lifelong Opportunity
With Pama, you can securely store your important employment documents and build your resume, so you’re ready to apply for your dream job.
Every time you complete a task on Pama, like creating a budget or a resume, you earn Pama Points.
You can redeem your Pama Points online, at any time, for Pama rewards.
Pama will help you connect with your community. The community noticeboard and calendar show all your local events and updates, so you’ll never miss out on the action.
Opportunity Accounts
Pama’s locked Opportunity Accounts empower you to meet your financial goals through regular contributions made by you and your family. These funds can only be spent on items allowed by the account rules, and no funds can be provided back in cash.
You can check your account balance at any time and personalise your account details. Committing to an account - by opening a new one or becoming a contributor to an existing account - also earns you Pama Points.
Visit your nearest O-Hub to open an Opportunity Account today.
