PayMaya supports LGUs push for digitization with real property tax raffle promo

Digital financial services leader PayMaya continues to make government transactions more convenient and rewarding for Filipinos with its contactless and cashless payment solutions.

PayMaya counts the country’s top local government units (LGUs) among its partners, enabling these cities and municipalities with digital payment acceptance solutions. It further strengthened the rollout of its LGUs Embracing and Accelerating Digitalization (LEAD) program this year since its launch in July 2020 to help more cities and municipalities build a digital-first community.

The initiative is in line with the overall thrust of the government to promote digitization of person-to-government (P2G) and business-to-government (B2G) payments and supports ease of doing business in the public sector.

To encourage more Filipinos to enjoy the convenience, safety, and security of paying their government transactions online, PayMaya is running the Real Property Tax raffle promo until December 31, 2021, with its partner LGUs.

The promo is open to all who will pay for their Real Property Tax (RPT) to the following LGUs: Antipolo City; Lapu – Lapu City; Legazpi City; Mandaluyong City; Marikina City; Paranaque City; Quezon City; Taguig City; Valenzuela City.

To earn a raffle entry, taxpayers simply need to pay for their RPT to any of the abovementioned LGUs, amounting to at least Php5,000. There will be five winners Php10,000 from each participating LGU. The announcement of winners will be on January 6, 2022.

“Local government units (LGUs) are at the forefront of digital transformation and financial inclusion. To build a strong digital ecosystem on-ground, PayMaya supports LGUs in their thrust to digitize payments. With more LGUs enabled with digital payments, citizens can surely enjoy more efficient, convenient, and safe public service, especially now that the economy begins to reopen,” said Mar Lazaro, Head of Enterprise Business at PayMaya.
