MALUNGON, Sarangani Province -- Residents and business entrepreneurs from this municipality can now pay for dues to the local government faster online through the digital payment facility of the Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK).

The Municipal Government of Malungon has partnered with the state-owned Bank for the integration of the LANDBANK Link.BizPortal to its own website, which offers a wide range of local public services. 

Through the Link.BizPortal, clients can now pay for local fees, such as business permits and realty taxes, at their own convenience and even at the comfort of their homes.

“LANDBANK’s digital banking solutions advances the National Government’s digital and financial inclusion agenda in line with its expanded mandate of serving the nation,” said LANDBANK President and CEO Lynette V. Ortiz.

Malungon Mayor Maria Theresa Constantino extended her appreciation to LANDBANK’s support to accelerate the municipality’s digitalization journey.

“This is the first in Sarangani to fully implement online payments. So, tell your relatives, your neighbors, that we have a new added service to make it more convenient for the people of Malungon to pay their taxes. We thank LANDBANK in bringing the service closer to every home in Malungon,” said Mayor Constantino.

The LANDBANK Link.BizPortal is a digital facility that allows clients to pay for products and services via the internet from both government and private institutions.

For the first six months of the year, the LANDBANK Link.BizPortal has facilitated 4 million transactions with value of P6 billion.

Of its total 1,326 partner merchants, the Portal has 978 government partners of which 180 have been newly-onboarded this year.

LANDBANK is celebrating its 60th anniversary, representing six decades of uplifting lives, empowering communities, and serving the nation — all in pursuit of an inclusive and sustainable economy. (LANDBANK)
