The Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO), the government agency responsible for upholding the interests, rights and welfare of overseas Filipinos, supports Bayad Center’s mission, which echoes its initiatives to serve the needs of some 10.2 million Filipino overseas spread across 200 locations across the world. With this partnership, CFO clientele can enjoy the convenience of settling payments through any of Bayad Center’s 39,000 touchpoints as well as the Bayad Center mobile app. Having expanded payment options will help payers save cost and time as they no longer need to personally visit CFO offices to fulfill financial transactions.
