Land Bank of the Philippines will waive convenience fees on select online government payments as part of efforts to make public transactions more affordable and accessible amid ongoing economic pressures.
In a statement, LandBank said the zero-fee policy will cover eligible person-to-government (P2G) transactions made through QRPh-enabled channels from June 1 to December 31, 2026.
The covered payment channels include LandBank Link.BizPortal via QRPh option, QRPh standees at participating government offices, and government websites using Link.BizPortal QRPh as the payment method.
The initiative applies to payments made to participating government institutions, including select national government agencies, government-owned and controlled corporations, local government units, water districts, and state universities and colleges.
Covered transactions include fees for services such as police clearances, real property taxes, business permits, apostille certificates, and other government dues.
LandBank said the move supports the government’s broader efforts to ease financial burdens and improve access to essential services under the Unified Package for Livelihood, Industry, Food, and Transport (UPLIFT) Program.
“LandBank’s zero convenience fees for online government payments provides 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 Go.
LandBank President and CEO Lynette Ortiz said the program aims to promote digital adoption while making government services more convenient and cost-efficient for the public.
“LandBank is waiving fees for online government payments to make services more accessible, while bringing more Filipinos into the digital financial ecosystem,” Ortiz said.
