Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation (RCBC) has partnered with payment gateway providers SwiftPay and Dragonpay to offer more digital payment options for online consumers and merchants.

Through these partnerships, RCBC’s customers can now use their mobile banking app to pay when they shop online.

The bank said in a statement that this move is part of its commitment to fast-track digitalisation in the country in line with the Digital Payments Transformation Roadmap led by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP).

“We support RCBC’s vision of reaching out to the financially underserved through their DiskarTech mobile app. We believe this collaboration between Dragonpay and RCBC DiskarTech will make e-commerce even more accessible to Filipinos from all walks of life,”

said Robertson Chiang, President, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Technology Officer of Dragonpay.

“What is most important about such partnerships is that there will be thousands of Philippines businesses that will benefit from this. The emergence of e-commerce in the Philippines is an important event for thousands of MSMEs, and these partnerships are our gift to help businesses run by ordinary Filipinos to enjoy the fruits of a fast-developing digital economy.”

says Lito Villanueva, the Executive Vice President and Chief Innovation and Inclusion Officer of RCBC.
