For more than a year and half now, the pandemic has caused a seemingly permanent shift to the mindset of people. The fear of contacting the dreaded virus gripping the whole world has fast-tracked the full digitalization of services in the country. No longer are people physically going to a bank or a payment center, just to settle their bills.
Practically everything is done digitally or virtually, nowadays
However, there are instances when one is required to go out, especially when withdrawing money or when paying digitally using a smart phone, is not possible. In these cases, financial technology companies like BTI Payments Inc. answers this pressing need by providing contactless payment services at many convenient locations nationwide.
Providing access ‘where they’re at’
Even before the pandemic hit, BTI Payments Inc., a member of the Banktech Group and a subsidiary of Banktech, a leader in specialized payment and technology solutions in Australia and across the South Asian region, saw that one of the reasons why a huge chunk of the Philippine population remains unbanked, is mainly due to a lack of accessibility. There are still quite a number of locations in the country where banks are inadequately numbered to sufficiently provide the needs of its residents.
