The National Housing Authority (NHA), in a move to further provide convenience to its beneficiaries, has entered into a partnership with Bayad Inc. that would allow housing amortizations to be paid at 7-Eleven branches across the country.
The agency said this initiative strengthens the payment network of the NHA, paving easier means for beneficiaries to fulfill their financial obligations without the need to visit the District or Regional Office. The service is an addition to the existing NHA partnership with the Maya Philippines Inc. that utilizes the Maya app to settle NHA beneficiaries’ payment regardless of time and location.
Under the guidance of general manager Joeben Tai, NHA has been making strides to introduce payment digitalization as part of its strategy to modernize and streamline processes. By making payments more accessible, the NHA aims to help beneficiaries settle their obligations faster and move closer to fully owning their awarded homes.
This initiative also aligns with the government’s digitization goals, as outlined in Republic Act (RA) 8792 or the Electronic Commerce Act of 2000, which mandates all government agencies to accept payments through electronic means. Additionally, it adheres to RA 11032 or the Ease of Doing Business and Efficient Government Service Delivery Act of 2018, which requires agencies to continuously improve their transactions and procedures to better serve the public.
The NHA’s partnership with Bayad Inc. and 7-Eleven highlights the agency’s commitment to improving its services by easing the Authority’s processes towards a more efficient transaction with thousands of housing beneficiaries.
