MANILA, PHILIPPINES — Two leading financial services providers, Bayad, the country’s most trusted payments authority, and Maybank Philippines Incorporated (Maybank) a member of the Maybank Group, Malaysia’s regional financial services leader, teamed up to elevate Filipinos’ digital banking and bills payment experience.

Bayad is boosting Maybank’s bills payment capability by augmenting the list of billers exponentially, enabling users to settle financial obligations in a few clicks and swipes. With the partnership, Maybank will be able to leverage Bayad’s unrivaled network of over 300 biller partners and highly advanced system that can process electricity, water, telco, and other utility bills, including credit cards, loans, and government fees and contributions. This gives customers greater convenience and security as they can accomplish their transactions at their own pace and at the comfort of their own place.

Specifically for Meralco bills, Bayad offers real-time payment processing, meaning successful transactions made through the Maybank2U PH internet banking and mobile app are immediately processed and posted to the customer’s account. This feature will help payors beat deadlines and avoid disconnection. Maybank shared that since the launch of the partnership with Bayad, average daily transactions of their Meralco payments increased substantially by more than 300%, indicating that more customers are appreciating the value of real-time payment posting.
