Bayad, Starpay partner for real-time bills payment

Bayad and Starpay have announced that they have forged a partnership to power the latter’s bills payment capability.

The partnership will provide Starpay customers access to Bayad’s extensive network of biller partners. The partnership kicks off by onboarding biller brands such as Meralco, Meralco Kuryente Load, Home Credit, Easytrip RFID and PLDT. Bayad and Starpay are also planning to onboard more bills payment services in the future.

“This partnership will help enable our 6 million users to pay their bills such as Meralco with ease. We pride ourselves as the Pitaka ng Bayan because we really are targeting the mass market. Our mutual commitment will definitely pave the way to a more inclusive digital financial experience,” said Starpay President Lamberto P. Scarella.

“Aside from boosting our physical payment footprint, Bayad teamed up with Starpay to enable a dynamic experience in bills payment where going digital can no longer be an afterthought, but a move for a secured, efficient and hassle-free transaction. The integration of our platforms gives us more opportunities to innovate and magnify the value of financial inclusion amidst the new normal,” said Bayad President and CEO, Lawrence Y. Ferrer.
