With Bayad powering SquidPay’s bills payment service, customers can better maximize the benefits of contactless, digital payments as they can settle more bills such as electricity, water, internet, cable, telephone, government fees and contributions, loan payments, and more.
This partnership of Bayad and SquidPay is strengthened by their kindred mission of giving the Filipinos greater access to easy, accessible, and advanced payment solutions. This collaboration also aims to provide the mass market a more convenient, faster, and more secure way to pay their utility bills via SquidPay mobile platform. In addition, SquidPay will soon activate cash in and withdraw money from SquidPay App wallet at Bayad Centers.
According to SquidPay’s CEO, Mr. Marvin Dela Cruz, “We will continue to develop and improve innovations that help make Filipinos’ lives less difficult, especially in the means of providing convenient and reliable financial and payment services.”
“SquidPay and Bayad are alike in many ways, making the collaboration inevitable. As we make e-payments more accessible and convenient, we hope that unbanked Filipinos will be encouraged to try more fintech products.” said Bayad President and CEO, Mr. Lawrence Y. Ferrer.
