Baguio Water District customers can now settle their water bills through GCash mobile application.
BWD announced the launching of its additional mobile payment option as it partners with the Electronic Commerce Payments, Inc. (ECPay), a subsidiary of Globe Telecom, Inc. which manages the mobile remittance facility GCash this June.
General Manager Salvador M. Royeca said the agreement between the government-owned water utility and GCash aims to provide convenience to its 44,392 active connections in the payment of their water bills.
Likewise, this provides an extended venue for customers to pay bills remotely using a virtual wallet while the Covid-19 pandemic still poses health risks to people and as Baguio transitions into the new normal.
Apart from GCash, Royeca said BWD is also evaluating other mobile payment partners to accommodate the preferences of customers on top of the already available and accredited payment centers namely; 7-Eleven Stores via the CLIQQ mobile application, SM Bills Payment Center, Savemore Supermarket, Development Bank of the Philippines ATM units nationwide or over-the-counter during banking hours, and the Landbank of the Philippines through their electronic payment portal.
BWD also advised its clients to settle overdue bills directly at the BWD main office from Mondays to Saturdays, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
For more information, BWD’s 24/7 hotline numbers may be reached at 442-3218, 442-4929, 0908-865-1504, 0917-679-4929, 0922-840-9765, or message through Facebook at “BWD_Customer Relations” or email [email protected]. – Press release
