MALASIQUI, Pangasinan – Residents and business owners from this 1st class municipality can now settle their payments for real property taxes and business permits faster and more conveniently through the online payment facility of the Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK).
The Municipal Government of Malasiqui has partnered with the state-owned Bank for the integration of the LANDBANK Link.BizPortal to its website, where constituents can now access the local government’s online services.
Through the Link.BizPortal, customers can complete payments for local transactions safer and easier online without having to physically visit the municipal hall.
Malasiqui Mayor Noel Anthony M. Geslani alongside LANDBANK Senior Vice President Ma. Belma T. Turla and Assistant Vice President Emelyn M. Justiniano led the launch of Malasiqui’s new online services on 8 June 2023 at the town’s Municipal Hall.
They were joined by Malasiqui Vice Mayor Alfe M. Soriano, Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Pangasinan Provincial Director Natalia B. Dalaten, and LANDBANK San Carlos (Pangasinan) Branch Head Menchie C. Mencias.
“LANDBANK continues to collaborate with local government units and other government partners to provide customers with safe and secure online payment options. This forms part of our push for greater financial inclusion, while promoting transparency and efficiency in the delivery of meaningful and responsive public service,” said LANDBANK President and CEO Lynette V. Ortiz.
LANDBANK has now onboarded a total of 22 local government units (LGUs) in Pangasinan to the Link.BizPortal, to provide efficient and convenient digital payment services for Pangasinenses. These LGUs include the Provincial Government of Pangasinan and the City Governments of Alaminos, Dagupan, San Carlos and Urdaneta.
“Itong launching po natin ngayon ay napakahalaga dahil kahit saan, kahit anong oras ay pwede ng makapagbayad ng fees,” said Mayor Geslani, adding that the newly launched online services will help promote ease of doing business in Malasaqui, while helping generate more income for the municipal government.
The Link.BizPortal is LANDBANK’s web-based payment channel that allows clients to pay for products and services online to over 1,250 government and private partner merchants nationwide.
As of April 2023, LANDBANK has recorded nearly 2.8 million transactions amounting to P4.2 billion through the Link.BizPortal.
