Managing online payments has become part of everyday family life—from paying bills and school fees to booking travel and subscribing to learning and entertainment apps. Staying true to its mission of advancing financial inclusion, PalawanPay, the fast-growing e-wallet of the Palawan Group of Companies, has introduced the PalawanPay Virtual Visa Card—a practical digital payment option designed especially for Filipinos, including those without bank accounts or credit cards.
With this launch, PalawanPay makes global online payments more accessible, safer, and less intimidating for everyday users. No lengthy applications, no strict banking requirements, and no complicated processes—just a simple way to pay online using an app many Filipino families already trust.
PalawanPay CEO Third Librea shared that the goal was to remove the barriers that have long kept many Filipinos from owning a Visa card. By offering a virtual card that can be activated instantly within the app, PalawanPay allows more people to participate confidently in the digital economy—whether for family needs, work, or personal purchases.
Designed for the Digital Filipino Household
Once verified, users can activate their PalawanPay Virtual Visa Card directly inside the app and start using it for online transactions. This includes shopping on platforms like Shopee and Lazada, paying for subscriptions, booking travel, and handling recurring digital expenses. Because it’s virtual, there’s no physical card to misplace, adding an extra layer of security for busy parents juggling multiple responsibilities.
Palawan Group Chief Marketing Officer Bernard Kaibigan emphasized that the Virtual Visa Card is not just a new feature, but a meaningful step toward making digital finance truly para sa lahat. For families managing budgets and online payments, it offers a safer alternative to sharing personal banking details on multiple platforms.
Supporting Financial Inclusion for Every Suki
One of the strongest advantages of the PalawanPay Virtual Visa Card is how it supports unbanked and underbanked Filipinos. Users can receive remittances from abroad directly into the app and enjoy free cash-ins at over 3,500 Palawan Express branches nationwide. This ensures that even families outside major cities can access and manage their funds without extra fees.
Built around real Filipino spending habits, the card supports everyday digital needs while staying aligned with Palawan Group’s walang kuskos-balungos promise—affordable, reliable, and hassle-free.
Looking ahead, PalawanPay has also announced plans to release a physical Visa card by 2026, allowing users to pay not just online but also in-store, locally and internationally.
