BillEase & Asia United Bank launch QRPh Integration in Philippines

By Gloria Mathias

BillEase, a consumer finance app, has launched its integration with QRPh, the national QR code standard. The new feature, enabled through a partnership with Asia United Bank (AUB), will enable BillEase users to have a seamless checkout experience.

With the QRPh feature, BillEase users can seamlessly scan any P2M QR code and utilize their credit limit to pay for online and offline purchases. This expands customers’ payment options, allowing them to transact at any QRPh-accepting merchant while enjoying the benefits of BillEase’s flexible instalment plans, whether choosing the convenience of paying later or the increased spending power of BillEase’s Limit Boost.

“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, both 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 instalment products. Now, our users can enjoy a seamless checkout experience anywhere they shop, whether it’s at a physical store or an e-commerce site.”

The new feature will also enable merchants to tap into a wider customer base that favours digital payments, speeding up transaction times and reducing the operational hassles 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.

By offering a seamless and secure alternative powered by QRPh’s standardized system, BillEase aims to bridge this gap and contribute to accelerating the shift towards a cashless society.

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