PalawanPay Launches Virtual Visa Card Making Digital Payments Simple for Every Filipino

PalawanPay, the fast-growing e-wallet under the Palawan Group of Companies, is taking digital payments to the next level with its newly launched Virtual Visa Card.

This move aligns perfectly with the company’s mission to advance financial inclusion, providing simple, secure, and widely accepted digital payment solutions for all Filipinos, even those without bank accounts or credit cards.

A Visa Card for Every Filipino

PalawanPay CEO Third Librea emphasized the card’s accessibility:

"Owning a Visa card has often felt out of reach for many Filipinos, limited to those with bank accounts or credit lines. With the PalawanPay Virtual Visa Card, we’re changing that. It’s simple, practical, and truly pang-masa. Now, every Filipino can access global commerce confidently and securely."

Cashless, Cardless, Limitless: The Digital Payment Solution

With just a few taps inside the PalawanPay app, verified users can activate their Virtual Visa Card instantly. Whether it’s online shopping, paying recurring bills, booking travel, or subscribing to digital services, this card makes transactions safe, seamless, and stress-free, no long forms, no complicated requirements, and no hidden fees.

Bernard Kaibigan, Palawan Group’s Chief Marketing Officer, added:

"The Virtual Visa Card is more than a feature, it’s a step toward a truly inclusive digital economy. Our goal is simple: to make digital finance practical and accessible for every suki."

Making Digital Finance Accessible for All

The PalawanPay Virtual Visa Card is designed for the unbanked and underbanked, empowering them to confidently participate in the digital economy. Key benefits include:

• Seamless payments on platforms like Shopee and Lazada
• Travel bookings and integration with digital wallets
• Subscription management for streaming and other services

Secure money transfers via Visa Direct

Beyond everyday payments, the card also allows users to receive remittances from abroad directly in the app. With over 3,500 Palawan Express branches nationwide, sukis can enjoy free cash-in services anywhere in the Philippines, ensuring easy access to funds without extra charges.

Zero Hassle, Fully Filipino-Centric

Every feature of the PalawanPay Virtual Visa Card is designed with simplicity in mind, reflecting real spending habits of today’s digital Pinoy. Its user-friendly interface ensures that going digital is no longer intimidating or complicated.

Looking Ahead: Physical Card Launch in 2026

PalawanPay plans to expand its offerings with a physical Visa card by 2026, providing even greater flexibility for point-of-sale and in-store transactions around the globe.

With the Virtual Visa Card, PalawanPay continues to prove that digital financial solutions can be practical, inclusive, and tailored to the everyday Filipino.
