DigiPlus teams up with Bayad to offer nationwide over-the-counter cash-ins

DigiPlus Interactive Corp., the country’s leading digital entertainment provider, has expanded its payment network through a partnership with Bayad, one of the Philippines’ most trusted bills payment service providers, giving BingoPlus, ArenaPlus, and GameZone players more secure and convenient ways to fund their accounts.

Through this partnership, DigiPlus customers can now make over-the-counter (OTC) cash-ins or deposits at more than 800 Bayad Center branches and partner outlets located in malls, supermarkets, and convenience stores nationwide.

The partnership was formally signed on October 8, 2025, by top executives from both companies — Eusebio H. Tanco, Chairman of DigiPlus; Jasper Vicencio, President of AB Leisure Exponent Inc., a subsidiary of DigiPlus; Ray C. Espinosa, Chairman of Bayad; and Lawrence Y. Ferrer, President and CEO of Bayad. The agreement takes effect immediately, making DigiPlus Bayad’s exclusive gaming partner for OTC cash transactions.

Bayad is accredited by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) as an Electronic Money Issuer (EMI). DigiPlus partners only with BSP-accredited payment channels in accordance with Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) requirements, ensuring that all player wallet transactions are processed through secure and compliant platforms.

Additional features, including cash-outs and access through the Bayad App, will be introduced in the next phases of the rollout, giving BingoPlus, ArenaPlus, and GameZone players more options to manage their funds conveniently.

“At DigiPlus, our priority is to deliver engaging entertainment while ensuring safe and reliable services for our players,” said Eusebio H. Tanco, Chairman of DigiPlus Interactive Corp. “This partnership with Bayad provides customers with more secure and convenient ways to manage their transactions, reinforcing our commitment to player protection and dependable service at every touchpoint.”

“Today, we take another meaningful step forward through our partnership with DigiPlus. Together, we’re expanding access to digital channels and offering new, engaging, and responsible ways for Filipinos to experience convenience and entertainment made possible by accessible and inclusive financial services,” said Atty. Ray C. Espinosa, Chairman of the Board at Bayad.

The Bayad partnership adds to DigiPlus’ growing customer service network, which already includes 24/7 in-house support, more than 130 BingoPlus stores nationwide, and a surety bond for player wallets. The company said these efforts reflect its commitment to providing digital entertainment that is safe, reliable, and accessible to Filipinos across the country.
