Aboitiz taps UBX for digital payments

MANILA, Philippines — Electricity distribution subsidiaries of Aboitiz Power Corp. are beefing up their services with the integration of digital payments in their mobile application.

AboitizPower has partnered with UBX Philippines, an affiliate of UnionBank of the Philippines, to develop MobileAP into a one-stop app via a platform called BUx.

With BUx, online bank payments and bank transfers can be done in MobileAP, the mobile application for distribution utilities under AboitizPower.

This will provide greater convenience to the customers of select AboitizPower energy distributors.

At the same time, transactions are kept track via real-time updates and notifications of credited funds courtesy of MobileAP’s merchant dashboard.

“Our subscribers can do everything from getting updates about our services, to checking their billing information, to bill payment, thanks to MobileAP and UBX,” AboitizPower distribution utilities assistant vice president and bills-to-cash head Arnold Villanueva said.

“Aside from improving their convenience, we build upon our customers’ trust by providing them with timely and transparent information,” he said.

AboitizPower said customers can immediately view and monitor their account for the past 12 months, including their respective power consumption, costs, and payment history through the app.
