MYEG Philippines has partnered with the Philippine Ports Authority to expand electronic digital payments options across the national port network.

The agreement, reported by the Daily Tribune, integrates MYEG’s Electronic Payment Collection System into the existing port payment portal.

Previously, port users relied on physical cashiers and the Land Bank of the Philippines LinkBiz Portal to settle fees. The integration widens access to more than 100,000 payment channels nationwide.

Supported options now include credit and debit cards, online banking, and prominent digital wallets such as GCash, Maya, ShopeePay, and GrabPay. The system also accommodates QRPh for app-based payments.

Port users can now conveniently settle accreditation fees, permits to operate, cargo handling, wharfage charges, and passenger terminal fees online.

The maritime logistics sector involves high-volume transactions from shipping lines, terminal operators, freight forwarders, and trucking companies.

Shifting port collections away from physical cashiers provides a major volume driver for digital payment providers in the Philippines. It expands fintech use cases into heavy industry and cross-border trade.

The initiative aligns with the government agenda to accelerate digitalisation and streamline public services.
