DSWD, nagbukas ng e-payment bilang alternative mode para tumanggap ng cash donation

TUMATANGGAP na ngayon ang  Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) ng payments at donasyon sa pamamagitan ng  LANDBANK Link.BizPortal, isang  e-payment facility na pinapayagan ang mga kliyente at partners ng DSWD na makapag- transact ng  business at/o bayaran ang kanilang  monetary obligations via online mode.

Sinabi ni DSWD Secretary Erwin T.

Ang mga prospective clients at partners ay maaaring gamitin ang  e-payment link para mag- transfer  ng monetary donations at/o kaya naman ay magbayad ng licensing, registration, at accreditation ng Social Welfare and Development Agencies (SWDAs), magbayad sa  Social Welfare and Development Center for Asia and Pacific dormitory at training fees, at magbayad ng  fees para sa  travel clearance ng mga  minors o menor de edad.

Ang online payment facility ay maaaring i- accessed sa Landbank official website o DSWD official website na matatagpuan sa  sidebar area o sa pamamagitan ng  direct link https://www.lbp-eservices.com/egps/portal/index.jsp.

Gayunpaman, isang minimal transaction fee na nag-range mula sa  P15 hanggang P30 kada trabsaksyon ang itsa-charged ng Landbank mula sa kliyente gamit ang mga sumusunod na payment options gaya ng:

— Landbank ATM/Visa Debit Cards;
