In
an effort to make greater strides in the country’s digital payment
transformation, CIS Bayad Center, Inc. (Bayad)– the pioneer brand in the
outsourced payment collection system and a full-service fintech subsidiary of
Meralco – has officially renewed its partnership with Ventaja International Corp., a
fintech institution, initially developed as a telecom prepaid card provider for
Filipino migrant workers based overseas, and is now offering a variety of
financial services such as remittance, loading and bills payment services for
both government and household utilities, all of which, are powered and
supported by Bayad’s robust biller aggregator system.
Bayad brings in Meralco, Autosweep, Easytrip, SSS, and many others biller brands in Ventaja’s mobile application called Payremit and through Ventaja’s domestic and international payment centers. With this, even Filipinos overseas can be able to help settle their families’ bills in the Philippines and regularly pay for their government contributions at the same time.
Bayad
President and CEO Lawrence Y. Ferrer shared, “We continue to expand our payment
footprint globally, as we aim to elevate the payment experience of our kababayans.
Our goal is centered on boosting their financial wellbeing, as we help them
seamlessly settle their families’ bills in the Philippines, and at the same
time, invest for their future through government contributions.
“We
are with Ventaja in helping OFWs strengthen their ties to home, and we highly
value every story of hard work that our kababayans experience before
they are able to provide for their families’ needs back home”, added Ferrer.
Ventaja
President and CEO Vincent D. Grey also shared “We are thrilled and grateful for
our renewed partnership with Bayad as we both maximize the opportunity to offer
enhanced payment services to Filipinos overseas. This way we can further
financial inclusion and help boost the country’s economic growth.”
