Digital lending platform Skyro has partnered with payment solutions provider ECPay to expand loan repayment channels nationwide, giving customers access to hundreds of thousands of payment touchpoints across the country.

Under the partnership, Skyro borrowers can make payments through ECPay's network of more than 462,000 over-the-counter locations, 16,000 kiosks and over 90 digital payment options. The expanded network covers both urban and provincial areas, allowing customers to settle their loan obligations through various physical and digital channels.

The companies said the arrangement also lowers the service fee for payments made through ECPay to P20, compared with fees of up to P25 charged by some other payment channels.

Customers can use the 11-digit mobile number registered to their Skyro account when making payments through partner applications such as GCash, PalawanPay and CLiQQ, or through over-the-counter outlets including 7-Eleven, Cebuana Lhuillier, Palawan Express, Prince Supermarkets and LCC.

Nasim Aliev, co-founder and co-chief executive officer of Skyro, said the partnership aligns with the company's goal of making financial services more accessible and affordable for customers nationwide.

He added that the expanded payment network provides borrowers with more convenient repayment options while helping them save both time and money.
