Staying true to the Palawan Group of Companies’ mission of advancing financial inclusion, PalawanPay — the company’s fast-growing e-wallet — unveils the PalawanPay Virtual VISA Card, a major leap in making simple, secure, and widely accepted digital payments accessible to every Filipino, including those without bank accounts or credit cards.

PalawanPay CEO Third Librea shared: “For many Filipinos, owning a VISA card has always felt out of reach — something reserved for those with bank accounts or credit lines. With the PalawanPay Virtual VISA Card, we’re changing that. We built this to be simple, practical, and truly pang-masa. Now every Filipino, every suki, can access global commerce with confidence — securely and affordably.”

Cashless, Cardless, Limitless — Designed for the Digital Filipino

With just a few taps inside the PalawanPay app, verified users can instantly activate their Virtual Visa Card and start transacting online. From e-commerce shopping and recurring bills to travel bookings and streaming subscriptions, the PalawanPay Virtual VISA Card delivers a safer, more seamless way to pay — no long forms, no rigid requirements, no hassle. True to Palawan Group’s walang kuskos-balungos promise.

Palawan Group chief marketing officer Bernard Kaibigan remarked: “PalawanPay’s Virtual VISA Card is more than a new feature. It is a step toward a more inclusive digital economy. Our goal is simple: to make digital finance truly para sa lahat (for everyone) — practical and within reach of every suki.”

Financial Inclusion, Levelled Up — Making the Digital Economy Accessible to Every Suki

The PalawanPay Virtual VISA Card empowers unbanked and underbanked Filipinos to participate confidently in the digital economy. Built with suki-centered simplicity, it supports easy payments for:

• Online shops such as Shopee and Lazada
  
• Travel bookings and digital wallets
  
• Subscription services
  
• Secure money transfers powered by Visa Direct
  
• Further, because PalawanPay is deeply rooted in the everyday needs of Filipinos, users can also receive remittances from abroad directly in the app. Sukis can also enjoy free cash-in at any of Palawan Express’ 3,500+ branches all over the Philippines — ensuring nationwide access to funds with zero extra cost.

Designed with zero intimidation and zero complications, it aligns with the real spending behaviors of today’s digital Pinoy.

Coming Soon: Physical PalawanPay VISA Card

By 2026, PalawanPay will launch its physical Visa card, providing even more flexibility for point-of-sale and in-store payments worldwide. #PalawanGroupOfCompanies #PalawanPay #PalawanPayVirtualVISACard
