NTC clientele including telecommunications and Internet providers can now conveniently settle their transaction fees online, thanks to the online platform launched by the National Telecommunications Commission, powered by Maya, the leading omnichannel payment processor and acquirer in the Philippines.

Dubbed the NTC Online Processing System with Digital Payment System (NTC OPS-DPS), the website aims to streamline and expedite the processing and issuance of licenses, permits, certificates, authorizations, and clearances for telecommunications and internet infrastructure.

Simplifying payments

"This initiative aligns perfectly with our mission to simplify payments for telecom and internet providers, making transactions more accessible and efficient," said Ella Blanca Lopez, NTC Commissioner. "Maya's innovative solutions are pivotal in achieving this goal."

Maya, winner of the coveted Best Digital Bank at the World Digital Bank  Awards 2023,  serves as the country's payment backbone for all modes of payment, from wallets to cards.

For online payments, the NTC OPS-DPS website is now powered by the Maya Checkout payment gateway, allowing the NTC to accept any Maya, QR PH, and other wallet payments.

Peter Cruz, Maya Head of Enterprise, expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration, saying, "We're thrilled to work with the NTC to promote Ease of Doing Business among government agencies through digital payments. Our collaboration with the NTC reflects our commitment to providing all stakeholders an all-in-one digital banking and payment experience."

President's mandate

This initiative directly responds to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s mandate to enhance efficiencies and leverage digital technologies to simplify business transactions with government offices in the country.

Telecommunications and internet providers can now fulfill online transactions using digital payments through the NTC OPS-DPS website, avoiding long lines and processing time.

At the same time, digitizing and automating payment collection for government agencies ultimately leads to improved public service for constituents.

The NTC is the latest addition to Maya's ongoing efforts to streamline government payments, offering more convenience for citizens.
