BillEase Launches QRPh Integration

BillEase, a leading consumer finance app in the Philippines, has announced its integration with QRPh, the country's national QR code standard.

BillEase users can now enjoy a seamless checkout experience at any QRPh-accepting merchant, both online and offline, thanks to the consumer finance app's new integration with the national QR code standard.

This innovative feature, developed through a strategic partnership with Asia United Bank (AUB), empowers BillEase users to enjoy a seamless checkout experience at any QRPh-accepting merchant, both online and offline.

The new integration allows BillEase customers to scan any P2M QR code and use their credit limit to pay for purchases.

This functionality gives users greater flexibility by enabling them to choose from various payment options, whether it's BillEase's flexible installment plans or the convenience of its Limit Boost™ feature.

"We're thrilled to finally bring QRPh to our customers, unlocking more opportunities for them to conveniently scan and pay wherever QRPh is accepted," said Kurt Molina, BillEase's Head of Merchant Products.

"By offering QRPh for in-store purchases and online transactions, we're delivering on our promise to provide Filipinos with flexible payment options through our pay later and installment products."

The benefits extend to merchants as well. The integration with QRPh helps businesses tap into a broader customer base that favors digital payments, speeding up transaction times and reducing the operational hassle associated with cash handling.

"It's a win-win: consumers enjoy the ease of use, and merchants benefit from streamlined operations and potentially higher sales from our customers," Molina added.

Ivan Grytsenko, Vice President for POS Business at BillEase, emphasized the range of possibilities the QRPh integration opens for consumers and merchants.

"Our QRPh integration enables clients to finance anything, from small daily needs with 0% overpayment to significant life quality purchases with flexible installments. By merging our innovative 'buy now, pay later' (BNPL) solutions with QRPh, we've created a powerful platform that will undoubtedly accelerate merchant and consumer adoption of cashless transactions nationwide."

BillEase's integration with QRPh aligns with the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas' (BSP) initiative to promote digital payment adoption across the country.

Despite the increasing popularity of digital transactions, cash remains a dominant payment method in the Philippines. By providing a seamless and secure alternative through QRPh's standardized system, BillEase aims to bridge this gap and contribute to a cashless society.

Wilfredo Rodriguez, EVP and Head of Operations and Technology at AUB, echoed this sentiment. "We are extremely proud to partner with BillEase in integrating the national QRPh standard into their mobile application.

This collaboration creates a synergy between AUB's proven expertise in facilitating secure digital payments and BillEase's innovative BNPL solutions, ultimately delivering a best-in-class and industry-leading payment experience for Filipino consumers."

BillEase's QRPh integration significantly expands its footprint, allowing customers to transact at over 600,000 QRPh-accepting merchants nationwide. With this new feature, BillEase continues to lead the way in providing innovative financial solutions that meet the evolving needs of consumers and businesses in the Philippines.
