AF Payments Inc., the company behind contactless and micropayments system beep, teamed up with e-wallet PalawanPay and financing giant Home Credit for easier card reloading.
The collaboration empowers beep cardholders to reload cards hassle-free with a few taps on their smartphone, eliminating the need to line up at transport terminals.
“E-wallets and fintech services have become integral in our increasingly digital lifestyle, with their user base continually growing. The inclusion of PalawanPay and Home Credit in our roster of over-the-air reloading partners underscores our commitment to leveraging technology to enhance the convenience of public commuting. Simultaneously, we enable our business partners to expand their services and attract more customers,” said AF Payments president and chief executive JJ Moreno.
PalawanPay, from the pawnshop and remittance company Palawan Pawnshop Group, is compliant with QR Ph, allowing users to send money, pay bills, shop at stores and transfer funds to other QR Ph-compliant entities easily and securely.
Home Credit revolutionized consumer financing in the country by offering innovative services that help Filipinos manage spending through the Buy-Now-Pay-Later option, product loans and others. It is also QR Ph-compliant.
The beep card is available for purchase at LRT1, LRT2 and MRT3 stations, select convenience stores and online in the official Shopee, Lazada and Facebook Marketplace stores.
Beep cards can be used to pay for fares in the elevated rail lines, select bus lines, P2P buses and modern jeepneys and in partner retail merchants nationwide.
AF Payments said the list of loading partners for beep continues to grow, enhancing the commuting experience for Filipinos. Card holders can now load through popular apps and e-wallets such as Gcash, Maya, BPI, Shopee, AND Financial, Maya, Sharetreats, justpay.to, G-gateway mobile, Ventaja, Cebuana Lhuillier, with the recent addition of Home Credit and PalawanPay.
