PASIG CITY – The Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK) expressed full support
to accelerating the Pasig City Government’s digitalization thrust towards the efficient
delivery of responsive public services in the city.
LANDBANK President and CEO Cecilia C. Borromeo met with Pasig City Mayor Victor
Ma. Regis “Vico” N. Sotto on 07 November 2022, to discuss potential partnerships to
digitize local processes and promote contactless payments in public markets and
transport.
The principals discussed providing local market vendors with electronic wallets, such
as the versatile all-in-one mobile payment application LANDBANKPay, for more
efficient and convenient payment of goods.
The City can likewise consider implementing the Automated Fare Collection System
(AFCS) for commuters using the LANDBANK prepaid contactless cards for convenient
and safe cashless payments in Public Utility Vehicles (PUVs), with the LGU willing to
provide free rides for Pasigueños.
LANDBANK currently provides the City Government of Pasig with digital banking
facilities designed to improve its operational efficiency. These include the LANDBANK
Link.BizPortal that allows residents to pay their real property taxes, business permits,
and other financial obligations to the City Government anytime and anywhere,
without the need to physically line up at the city hall.
LANDBANK and the Pasig City LGU have also been working closely for the efficient
and convenient distribution of cash assistance to local senior citizens and student
scholars. Beneficiaries receive their cash grants in a timely manner from the City
Government through LANDBANK Cash Cards.
Beneficiaries can withdraw their cash grants for free from 78 LANDBANK ATMs or via
over-the-counter at 11 LANDBANK branches in Pasig City, as well as from ATMs in 7-
Eleven convenience stores near them.
The LANDBANK Cash Cards can also be used to make cashless purchases in
groceries, drugstores, and other accepting merchants via Point-of-Sale (POS)
terminals.
