BTI Payments, owner and deployer of the Pay&Go network of payment kiosks, is widening its nationwide coverage through planned regional expansion to serve more customers.
BTI, which is available in many leading malls, supermarkets, pharmacies, convenience stores, is concentrating efforts to expand in the Visayas and Mindanao to further broaden its network.
Plans to establish satellite offices in key urban areas nationwide are being put into action to provide better services that achieve a more targeted reach while enhancing relationships with their key partners across many regions, it said.
Aligning itself to the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas’ push for financial inclusion, BTI Payments is giving its full support to the PalengQR program, which advocates for cashless transactions in public markets by having vendors accept QR payments from customers.
BTI Payments is actively deploying Pay&Go kiosks in marketplaces, terminals and other establishments that serve the general public. These Pay&Go kiosks serve as cash-in points and allow users to top-up their e-wallets for cashless convenience when buying goods at the market or paying for their fare when riding public transport.
BTI entered into an arbitration process with the Philippine Dispute Resolution Center Inc. to resolve issues with its previous partnership with Manila Express Payments.
The PDRCI completed a lengthy process of hearing both parties and subjected both under the scrutiny of the legal evidence presented and a final resolution was given for both parties to comply. BTI said it trusted and submitted to the process of PDRCI, and in the spirit of arbitration, accepted the decision to be final and executory.
Unhindered by legal disputes, BTI Payments aims to continue its momentum with expansion plans. BTI Payments is moving forward, focusing its time and resources on better serving the public.
True to its mission of providing financial access to the unserved markets, the main objectives will be aggressive deployment in key venues and programs that will further elevate the level of support it gives to its key partners and customers.
