The Palawan Group of Companies, a reputable brand in the Philippines for pawning services (Palawan Pawnshop) and money remittance (Palawan Express Padala), has partnered with eTap to provide self-service payment kiosks and machines via their digital wallet, PalawanPay. PalawanPay's sukis benefit from the partnership as they can now easily cash in their accounts by using any of eTap's 2,777 kiosks across the country.

The Palawan Group of Companies has forged several partnerships that have allowed them to become closer to the masses

JC Medina, Head of Innovation, Missy Baldemor, Head of B2B Group, and Chief Business Development Officer Lisa Lou Castro-Sabado signed the agreement on behalf of the Palawan Group of Companies. Chief Executive Officer of eTap Percy Hernandez, President Marlon Portugal, Chief Strategy Officer Juan Miguel Hernandez, Senior Manager of Business Development Ernie Eusebio, and COO Jana Cruzado were also in attendance.

“We are true to our vision and mission to help upgrade the lives of our countrymen. This partnership comes at a very opportune time since most Filipinos have transitioned to using digital wallets as their mode of payments. With this, we would like to thank you, Sir Percy and the eTap team. We look forward to more collaborations with you.” ~Lisa Lou Castro-Sabado, Chief Business Development Officer

The Palawan Group of Companies has formed a number of alliances this year that have helped them get closer to the general public. The Filipino people now have greater access to their products and services thanks to the addition of eTap. This will enable more users to easily send and receive money from anywhere in the Philippines by increasing awareness of the capabilities and services offered by the eTap kiosks and the PalawanPay app. 

“It is an honor for us to partner with the Palawan Group. We’ve actually been talking to others about other concepts, but Palawan has shown so much interest and that is why we are here. I look forward to our continued collaboration in the coming years, as we work together to enhance both of our services and achieve mutual growth.” ~Percy Hernandez, eTap’s CEO
