LANDBANK waives fees for online gov’t payments

In response to ongoing global economic pressures, LANDBANK is waiving fees on select online government payments, enabling Filipinos to transact with government agencies more conveniently and at a lower cost.

From June 1, 2026, to Dec. 31, 2026, LANDBANK will implement zero fees on eligible person-to-government (P2G) transactions made via QRPh, as part of the Bank’s ongoing efforts to make everyday banking more affordable.

LANDBANK’s move also supports the National Government’s whole-of-government response to rising costs and global economic challenges, while expanding access to affordable financial services under the Unified Package for Livelihoods, Industry, Food, and Transport (UPLIFT) Program.

The fee waiver covers transactions completed through three QRPh-enabled payment channels: (1) LANDBANK Link.BizPortal via QRPh option; (2) QRPh standees at participating government institutions; and (3) government agencies’ websites where LANDBANK Link.BizPortal via QRPh is selected as the payment mode.

Eligible payments include fees to participating government institutions — such as select national government agencies (NGAs), government-owned and controlled corporations (GOCCs), local government units (LGUs), water districts, and state universities and colleges (SUCs) — supporting faster and more convenient payments for police clearance, real property taxes, business permits, apostille certificates, and other dues.

Payment channels other than QRPh, as well as charges imposed by merchants or other service providers, if any, are not covered by the LANDBANK fee waiver and shall remain in effect.

“LANDBANK’s zero convenience fees for online government payments provide convenient access to essential public transactions at no additional cost. Transacting with government agencies online is now more affordable. This initiative is part of our continuous efforts to bring government services closer to the people,” said Finance Secretary and LANDBANK Chair Frederick D. Go.

LANDBANK President and CEO Lynette V. Ortiz said the initiative aims to make government transactions more convenient and affordable amid economic challenges, while promoting greater digital banking adoption.

“LANDBANK is waiving fees for online government payments to make services more accessible, while bringing more Filipinos into the digital financial ecosystem. This supports our broader goal of advancing financial inclusion and delivering services that are more responsive to the needs of the public,” LANDBANK President and CEO Ortiz said.

The rollout of free government payment services complements LANDBANK’s efforts to lower transaction costs, including the recent reduction of InstaPay transfer fees from PHP 15 to PHP 8, effective May 21, 2026.

As the country’s leading government bank, LANDBANK continues to drive a more inclusive and cash-lite economy by making digital transactions simpler, more accessible, and more affordable for all.
