Other features of the system include the collection of fees, dues, and charges. This is consistent with the national government’s push toward digitalization through the acceptance of digital payments for government collections. As highlighted in Executive Order No. 170, “Adoption of Digital Payments for Government Disbursement and Collections,” these include promoting the efficient delivery of government services, speeding up transactions, increasing revenue, and lowering the risk of graft and corruption. 

In addition to government-affiliated merchants, the payment gateway also offers access to private institutions such as hospitals, schools, businesses, associations, and electric cooperatives. A variety of payment methods are available through Link.BizPortal, including e-wallets, participating banks via BancNet Online, LANDBANK and OFBank accounts, PCHC Paygate, and over-the-counter (OTC) cash payments. Credit, debit, and prepaid cards bearing the Visa, Mastercard, and JCB brands are also accepted, both domestically and internationally.
