Dito expands reach, partners with Bayad

MANILA, Philippines — New major telco player Dito Telecommunity Corp. has expanded its electronic loading channels through a partnership with multi-channel payment platform Bayad.

With the collaboration, Dito subscribers can go to any of Bayad’s 1,118 participating payment touchpoints to conveniently purchase load and mobile data bundles.

“Since we launched in March 2021, we have remained committed to expanding our services to new cities and new channels, in order to reach more Filipinos nationwide. Through this partnership with Bayad, one of the most trusted brand and authority in payments, we can reach even more Filipino communities and make Dito products and services conveniently accessible to them,” Dito sales director Angel Mercado said.

Dito has gained over two million users in less than a year after its commercial launch.

The newest telco player offers generous prepaid plans valid for 30 days with high-speed data and calls and texts to other mobile networks.

Its partnership with Bayad gives the telco’s customers an extra level of convenience and security as they can reload and manage their monthly transactions efficiently under one roof.

Dito subscribers can also take advantage of Bayad’s extensive network of biller partners and pay different types of bills from electricity, water, internet, cable, telephone, government fees and contributions, loan payments, and more.

Furthermore, they can buy their mobile load on Bayad App and Bayad Online, an extension of Bayad Centers, offering the same, hassle-free, and reliable payment acceptance that is available 24/7.

Bayad’s partnership with Dito supports the payment platform’s thrust to continuously expand its service and solutions portfolio as well as its biller, and channel partner network.

“At Bayad, we are continuously looking for creative and innovative ways to leverage our physical and digital channels and make our services more accessible to consumers. On top of delivering payment convenience and security, we are thrilled to be working with Dito to ensure that our communities have access to load and connectivity, especially during these challenging times,” Bayad president and CEO Lawrence Ferrer said.

Bayad early this year rebranded with a new brand identity, logo and tagline as it connects with a new generation of payers, expands its digital footprint, to further contribute to the advancement of the country’s finance sector.
