“BPI app transforms into an e-wallet for in-store payments”

BPI App Introduces Pay via QR Feature for Cashless Payments

In a move to enhance convenience for its users, the BPI app has proudly introduced its latest feature – Pay via QR. While scanning QR codes to pay in stores has been mostly associated with other e-wallet apps, BPI seeks to change user habits and make cashless payments even easier for its clients by offering the feature directly on the BPI app. This new feature allows BPI app users to pay thousands of stores and restaurants directly using QR Ph codes, eliminating the need to cash in to e-wallets first and simplifying the payment process.

Fitzgerald Chee, Head of Consumer Platforms at BPI, expressed excitement about the new feature, stating, “We are excited to introduce Pay via QR on the BPI app, providing our users with an easier way to pay merchants straight from their BPI accounts. They can simply open their BPI app, tap the QR icon on the upper right, then scan and pay. With this feature, customers can go cashless, without the need for wallets or cashing in to e-wallets, making payments for shopping and dining more seamless.”

It’s important to note that some stores may use QR Ph codes that are linked to personal accounts rather than merchant or business accounts. Upon scanning the QR Ph code with the BPI app, users should ensure that the top of the screen says ‘Pay merchant’ to avoid any interbank transfer fees.

Chee also emphasized the importance of creating awareness among users about the convenience and benefits of using QR Ph codes for payments. He encouraged everyone to try the Pay via QR feature and experience the ease of cashless transactions with the BPI app.
