The Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK) and the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) launched an online facility for a safer and more convenient collection of MMDA payments, fees, and charges. The MMDA will be utilizing LANDBANK’s Link.BizPortal as an alternative online payment facility for the settlement of traffic violations and anti-littering penalties. The MMDA is tasked to provide services within Metro Manila related to urban development plans, transport and traffic management, waste disposal, flood and sewer control, health and sanitation, pollution control, and public safety. Through this partnership, MMDA clients may settle their penalties using the Link.BizPortal accessible on the MMDA and LANDBANK websites, and pay online using their LANDBANK, OFBank, BancNet, or PayGate accounts. Clients may also use the cash payment option of the Link.BizPortal and complete their transaction at more than 80,000 cash acceptance outlets nationwide. MMDA Chairman Benjamin “Benhur” Abalos, Jr., and Executive Vice President Julio D. Climaco, Jr., LANDBANK Branch Banking Sector Head, led the launch on July 27, 2021, at the MMDA Building in Makati City. “Our new collaboration proves to be timely and relevant as we continue to promote safer cashless transactions in the new normal. As the MMDA advances initiatives to ease vehicle buildups on our roads, LANDBANK contributes to decongesting foot traffic in government offices by providing alternative digital payment channels for clients,” said LANDBANK President and CEO Cecilia C. Borromeo. The LANDBANK Link.BizPortal is a web-based payment channel that allows clients to pay for products and services online to over 790 partner merchants nationwide. It also promotes transparency and efficiency by eliminating face-to-face transactions while reducing opportunities for red-tape, corruption and other fraudulent practices. With this partnership, the MMDA joins the roster of national government agencies supported by the LANDBANK Link.BizPortal. These include the Philippine National Police (PNP), Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), Department of Health (DOH), Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), Department of Science and Technology (DOST), and the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), among others. Meanwhile, the usage of LANDBANK’s digital and e-banking channels continues to surge, as more financial consumers shift to digital banking due to the mobility and safety restrictions brought about by COVID-19. As of June 30, 2021, the LANDBANK Link.BizPortal has successfully facilitated 1.89 million transactions amounting to P4.63 billion, representing increases of 113% and 133%, respectively, year-on-year. This growth is consistent across the Bank’s five major electronic channels—the LANDBANK Mobile Banking App, weAccess, iAccess, Link.BizPortal, and Electronic Modified Disbursement System (eMDS)—which breached the P1 trillion mark in value by facilitating a total of 61.91 million transactions amounting to P1.117 trillion. A major portion of this milestone is attributed to the combined value of P1.030 trillion facilitated by the LANDBANK weAccess—the internet banking facility for institutional clients—and the eMDS for government agencies.

Traffic violators under the recently implemented Single Ticketing System in Metro Manila may conveniently settle their fines and charges online, through an alternative online payment facility powered by the Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK). The LANDBANK Link.BizPortal has been integrated into the Single Ticketing System webpage of the apprehending local government units (LGUs), for an easier and more accessible online payment system. Motorists can settle traffic fines and charges through the Link.BizPortal using their LANDBANK and Overseas Filipino Bank (OFBank) accounts, as well as virtual accounts opened via LANDBANKPay—the state-run Bank’s all-in-one electronic wallet and payment solution. Accounts with BancNet or PayGate participating banks and other e-wallets can also be utilized when transacting through the LANDBANK Link.BizPortal. The cash payment option is likewise available through cash and partner agents, including LANDBANK Agent Banking Partners (ABPs). The Link.BizPortal eliminates the need to go to the offices of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) and apprehending LGUs for over-the-counter transactions, providing motorists with a safe and convenient option to settle traffic violations anytime and anywhere. Prior to the pilot implementation of the Single Ticketing System in Metro Manila, LANDBANK has been facilitating the online collection of MMDA payments, fees and charges through the Link.BizPortal since June 2021.

The pilot implementation of the Single Ticketing System covering the cities of Caloocan, Manila Muntinlupa, Parañaque, San Juan, Valenzuela, and Quezon City started on 02 May 2023. The new system seeks to harmonize existing laws on traffic enforcement and management in Metro Manila, including standardizing the fines and penalties for common traffic violations and providing interconnectivity among government instrumentalities involved in transport and traffic management. The MMDA is among the more than 1,230 government and private partner merchants in the LANDBANK Link.BizPortal, which allows customers to conveniently pay for products and services online. The Portal also promotes transparency and efficiency by reducing opportunities for red-tape, corruption and other fraudulent practices. LANDBANK supports the digitalization of the country’s payment systems and services towards building a cashless and inclusive society being promoted by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP).
