“As we expand the payment options available on the SEC eSPAYSEC, we hope to encourage more businesses and stakeholders to do their transactions online as it is easier, safer and more convenient,” SEC chairman Emilio B. Aquino said.
“This is just among the many initiatives under the commission’s ongoing digital transformation aimed at further improving the ease of doing business in the country. MyEG’s goal and mission has always been to support the government in the ease of doing business. We are delighted to extend all our more than 90,000 channels to the SEC so corporations can have more options to pay their SEC fees online or payment centers near their homes or offices,” MyEG Philippines CEO Ann Margaret Saldaña said.
The public may access the eSPAYSEC at https://espaysec.sec.gov.ph/. To proceed, clients only need to enter the reference number provided in the payment assessment form issued by the SEC, select their preferred payment option and pay.
To ensure payments made via eSPAYSEC are secure, clients will receive a one-time pin in the mobile phone numbers linked to their bank accounts or digital wallets. Once payment goes through, the system generates an electronic official receipt, which clients will likewise receive through email.
The SEC shifted to payment channels online and offsite starting February 1, in line with its zero face-to-face transaction policy. Accordingly, all payments to the Commission have since been accepted only through the eSPAYSEC and at any branch of the Land Bank of the Philippines nationwide.
