LANDBANK launches convenient mobile app for commuters

In line with the modernization of the country’s transport sector, the Land Bank of the
Philippines (LANDBANK) is now offering a mobile transit app for cashless and contactless
payment in public utility vehicles (PUVs) equipped with the Automated Fare Collection System (AFCS) EMV solution.

Through the LANDBANK mCommuter app, commuters can conveniently pay for transportation fares in AFCS-enabled vehicles by scanning the app-generated Quick Response (QR) Code, or by simply tapping their smartphones capable of supporting Near-Field Communication (NFC) technology on payment terminals.

“The LANDBANK mCommuter app supports the government’s transport modernization agenda, geared towards enhancing the daily travel experience of commuters. This is part of our continued efforts to leverage digital technology to serve commuter needs,” said LANDBANK President and CEO Cecilia C. Borromeo.


To register and access the features of the mCommuter app, users must be Full Wallet
Accountholders of LANDBANKPay—the Bank’s all-in-one mobile wallet.

Once registered in mCommuter, fares will be automatically debited from the user’s
LANDBANKPay account. Users may also link their LANDBANK EMV contactless prepaid and
credit cards to the app to monitor their transit payment transactions and passenger journey.

Other mCommuter features scheduled for future roll-out include advance booking of tickets and discounted fares in PUV units.

Starting 13 September 2022, the mCommuter app is free to download in the Google Play Store, and soon in the Apple App Store.

LANDBANK and the Department of Transportation (DOTr) recently launched the interim
operation of the AFCS in September, covering six (6) units of modern public utility vehicles
(MPUVs) of PM Jeepney Drivers Operators and Services, Inc. (PMJDOSI). The remaining 144 MPUV units out of the total 150 PUV units shall soon be deployed in selected pilot sites in NCR, Central Luzon 3, Calabarzon, and Metro Cebu.

Aside from the mCommuter app, LANDBANK contactless cards may also be used as cashless payment instruments in AFCS-enabled PUV units.
