GSIS taps Maya as new online payment option for loan borrowers

The Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) said Wednesday it partnered with digital payments firm Maya to be its newest online payment option for loan borrowers.

“We are enhancing our digital payment platforms to provide convenience to our members and pensioners. Maya will further simplify the payment process, enabling borrowers to settle their loans conveniently anytime, anywhere,” GSIS president and general manager Wick Veloso said in a statement.

Under the partnership, Maya becomes among the payment choices available within the GSIS mobile app —GSIS Touch. 

“We believe in the transformative power of digital payments for government services, and we’re proud to enable borrowers to settle their loans using Maya, making the process easier, faster, and accessible to all,” said Maya head of enterprise Pete Cruz.

To make a payment, members and pensioners may transact through the GSIS Touch, select the loan type and payment amount, and choose the Maya option under the eWallets section. 

They will then be directed to the Maya app to confirm the payment, with details emailed to them for confirmation. 

GSIS Touch allows payments for several loans, including GSIS Multipurpose Loan Flex, GFAL-Education Loan, Policy Loan, Emergency Loan, and Pension Loan.

The GSIS chief said its latest initiative conforms with Republic Act No. 8792 or the Electronic Commerce Act of 2000, and RA 11032 or the Ease of Doing Business and Efficient Government Service Delivery Act of 2018, which mandate government agencies to utilize electronic means for transactions and ensure efficient service delivery to the public.—AOL, GMA Integrated News
