AF Payments Inc., operator of tap-to-pay system Beep card, yesterday launched its first near-field communication (NFC) technology-based card loading to allow users to conveniently top up their card.
With this, beep cardholders can now enjoy real-time loading of their stored value cards straight from their mobile app.
“Our innovations are always aligned with what’s convenient for beep card customers. We’re adding a contactless way to reload that’s actually received in real-time in order to help our cardholders save time in queuing and to limit their exposure to COVID-19 when outside.
With more and more transport and retail partners joining the bee ecosystem, we strongly encourage Filipino consumers and businesses alike to maximize the benefits of our contactless payment solution,” said Sharon Fong, AF Payments chief commercial officer.
To use this feature, cardholders must download the latest version of the beep card app on their NFC-enabled smartphone.
The app currently accepts payments via mastercard, Visa, or JCB credit and debit cards, as well as GCash, Paymaya, or QR PH, and carries a minimal processing fee.
In the coming months, AF Payments Inc. will be rolling out more features on the beep app to provide passengers relevant information and services to make daily commuting a hassle-free experience.
Beep cards are available at any Light Rail Transit or Metro Rail Transit line station, EDSA bus stops, select point to point bus terminals, jeepney terminals, and Ministop branches in Metro Manila.
