The city government of Davao and the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas-Davao are strengthening digital payments in Davao City by launching the Paleng-QR Ph program in Bankerohan Public Market on Wednesday.
Zarinah Aligsao, Bank Officer V and Regional Economic Affairs staff of BSP-Mindanao Regional Office, said the program enjoins all establishments and transport to use a QR code as a means of payment. “This is a way to reinforce or augment the existing ways of payment. Another thing na benefit is for the merchants. Aside from mag expand ang ilahang potential consumers and also for health reasons kay kabalo ta hangtod karon naa lang gihapon ang Covid,” she said.
Aligsao said the main activity on the 23rd will be account onboarding and booths will be set up for those who want to open accounts on various FSPs.
