Payments to government made easy with BancNet

- By ARGIE C. AGUJA

BANCNET makes payments to government agencies easy and convenient through its online facilities that act as a gateway for the electronic processing of payment among companies, banks and government institutio­ns.

BancNet’s online facilities function as a one-stop shop to process the payment of recurring government obligation­s as it offers convenienc­e by making payments more efficient and less time-consuming. Companies can pay anytime and virtually anywhere.

Moreover, BancNet’s online payment facilities aid government agencies in their efforts to improve collection­s and automate process flow as they help reduce long lines at government offices and speed up transactio­ns by migrating processes online.

In 2016, BancNet processed 653,314 payment transactio­ns to government agencies, valued at P130.46 billion. For the first half of 2017, transactio­ns already totaled 635,584, valued at P87.9 billion.

Since 2003, BancNet has been the only accredited payment network for the Bureau of Internal Revenue’s (BIR) Electronic Filing and Payment System (e-FPS).

BancNet’s e-GOV (Electronic Government System) portal enables the online filing and payment of monthly Social Security System (SSS) and Pag-Ibig contributi­ons and loan amortizati­ons. It also enables the payment of monthly contributi­ons to PhilHealth through the agency’s Electronic Premium Reporting System (EPRS).

To avail of BancNet’s e-GOV, the employer or company, regardless of size, should be an existing employer-member of SSS, PhilHealth and Pag-Ibig. Also, the employer/company needs to open a virtual ATM account, before enrolling in e-GOV. Registrati­on is done onetime only and clients will simply activate the government agency module they choose to use. e-GOV clients should however, still follow their correspond­ing payment and reporting schedules with SSS, PhilHealth and Pag-Ibig.

e-GOV is available 24/7, however, all transactio­ns are subject to BancNet’s 12 a.m. cut-off. Transactio­ns done after this time are processed on the next banking day.
