eTap Solutions, a Philippine operator of self-service payment kiosks, has announced plans to expand its service offerings and regional presence in 2026.

The move aims to improve financial accessibility, particularly for communities that rely heavily on cash transactions.

Founded in 2023, the company currently operates over 4,000 machines nationwide. These kiosks will facilitate services including e-wallet cash-ins and bill payments. They will be located in partner stores such as DALI, Alfamart, and Julie’s Bakeshop, 

As of December 2025, the company reported serving over 12 million unique users.

For the upcoming year, eTap Solutions will introduce cash-out machines, allowing users to withdraw funds directly from their e-wallets.

To support regional growth, new “eTap Hubs” will open in Zamboanga City, Bacolod City, Cebu City, and Davao City, alongside on-ground caravans in Visayas and Mindanao.

“Our machines act as a phygital bridge for anyone who wants to turn their physical cash into digital payments, which is especially useful for the millions of Filipinos who are still primarily cash-first,” said Carlo Hernandez, CEO of eTap Solutions.

Hernandez noted the importance of accessibility during difficult economic times.

Citing the rising cost of living and frequent natural calamities, Hernandez stated that eTap aims to ease the burden on the average Filipino by ensuring its machines are easy to use and widely available.

To manage this expansion, a new company, eTap Managed Services Inc. (EMSI), will be established in January 2026. Led by Jana Darm-Cruzado, EMSI will oversee maintenance and operations to ensure kiosk availability.
