The Philippine National Bank and PMFTC Inc. have signed a partnership that will equip more than 1,200 PMFTC sales personnel with QR Ph–enabled identification cards and lanyards, allowing them to accept customer payments through any mobile banking app or e-wallet.
The initiative, which aims to modernize PMFTC’s frontline collection process, is expected to cut down on cash handling and improve operational efficiency across the company’s nationwide sales network.
“This is a big step towards making field collections simpler, safer, and faster—not just for the salesmen, but for customers too,” PNB president and CEO Edwin R. Bautista said during the signing ceremony at PNB’s head office. “We’re proud to work with PMFTC on this meaningful project.”
With pilot testing completed and a national rollout scheduled for September 2025, both companies said the collaboration underscores how cross-industry partnerships can accelerate digital transformation.
“This endeavor with PNB shows how technology, when used right, can make work lighter and life easier,” said PMFTC director for finance & planning Dominique Thollon, adding that the agreement marks the start of a broader, mutually beneficial partnership.
PNB said it is also exploring expanding the collaboration to include disbursement services and employee-focused solutions to further support PMFTC’s workforce.
