Motorists can now pay for their MMDA traffic violation fines online

MANILA: Multi-channel payment company Bayad has strengthened its partnership with the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) by enabling the settlement of traffic fines through its digital platforms—the Bayad App and Bayad Online.

With Bayad’s digital payment platforms, Filipinos with traffic, jaywalking, and anti-littering violations are not required to visit the MMDA head office anymore to pay for their tickets as they can now process it through Bayad App and Bayad Online.

Bayad, MMDA, and the Landbank of the Philippines formalized this collaboration in a recently concluded signing event.

“In today’s era of digital transformation, this alternative cashless payment option offers greater convenience for our clients especially amid the ongoing pandemic. Contactless payment also means less exposure to the public (no contact transaction) and less possibility of acquiring the COVID-19 virus,” MMDA Chairman Benhur Abalos stated. “With Bayad’s digital payment platforms, we are certain that this effort will fast-track the current process and will translate to better services to the public and better traffic on the road.”

In parallel, Bayad President and Chief Executive Officer Lawrence Ferrer said, “Today marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter in Bayad and MMDA’s existing five-year alliance to help Filipino commuters and motorists pay their fines and obligations in a more convenient way. By helping ease the process of MMDA traffic violation settlement, we are encouraging more Filipinos to responsibly fulfill their obligations by making it easy for them as they can pay through our onsite or online channels.”

Bayad is one of the major financial technology companies in the Philippines. The company provides digital payment solutions to over 22 government partner billers, including the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS), Social Security System (SSS), Home Development Mutual Fund (Pag-IBIG), PhilHealth, TIEZA, and National Bureau of Investigation (NBI).
