TANAUAN, Leyte – Over 2,900 senior citizens from this town conveniently received
their cash grants from the National Government, following the deployment of a
LANDBANK Mobile automated teller machine (ATM) at the Tanauan Civic Center in
Brgy. Canramos from October 24 to 26, 2022.
The senior citizens used their LANDBANK Prepaid Cards to receive the grants, who
form part of the 3.4 million Unconditional Cash Transfer (UCT) beneficiaries under
the Social Pension Program for Indigent Senior Citizens of the Department of Social
Welfare and Development (DSWD).
“LANDBANK is committed to deliver accessible and convenient services especially to
vulnerable sectors. Our mobile touchpoints allow us to service areas where we are
needed the most,” said LANDBANK President and CEO Cecilia C. Borromeo.
The three-day deployment of the LANDBANK Mobile ATM in Tanauan allowed
beneficiaries to activate their LANDBANK Prepaid Cards and withdraw the loaded
cash aid free of charge, helping them to save time and transportation-related costs.
“The LANDBANK mobile ATM deployment in Tanauan greatly benefits our UCT
beneficiaries, as they have easy access to withdraw their money from their cards
within the venue of the card release. I would like to extend my sincerest thanks to
LANDBANK for the swift response to my request. Your continued support is highly
appreciated and I look forward to our partnership in public service,” said Tanauan
Mayor Ma. Gina E. Merilo.
Through the LANDBANK Prepaid Cards, UCT beneficiaries from Tanauan can now
receive government subsidies in a timely manner and withdraw cash for free in the
LANDBANK Easy Access Facility (LEAF) located in Brgy. Buntay and from LANDBANK
ATMs in neighboring towns.
They can also use the Prepaid Cards to make cashless purchases for essential
supplies in groceries, drugstores, and other accepting merchants via Point-of-Sale
(POS) terminals.
The LANDBANK Prepaid Cards were recently upgraded into transaction accounts to
provide beneficiaries with wider access to an array of banking services, including
prepaid card loading via LANDBANK branches, fund transfers through the LANDBANK
Mobile Banking App, and cash-in via LANDBANK Cash Deposit Machines (CDM).
