How To Use Dragonpay For Your Purchases And Bills Payment

Online transactions, especially online shopping, is becoming more and more common today. Despite the rising popularity of doing everything online, it isn’t the same for conventional payment methods such as credit cards for online payments.  We can quickly point out that only 10% of the population has access to credit cards. At the same time, that isn’t an entirely bad thing; it does mean that conventional means of paying for online purchases aren’t that accessible to Filipinos.  Many financial sector players have brought to light alternative payment methods to credit cards to bridge that gap; one of those is Dragonpay - an online payment platform that caters to both consumers’ and businesses’ needs. And the best thing about this is that you don’t need a credit card to use it!

What is Dragonpay?

It’s an online payment platform for both businesses and consumers:
  • It can work as a payment gateway for e-commerce entities giving their customers the option to pay in cash. At the same time, it provides a real-time tracker to the business for payments made by their customers. 
  • Customers can complete their payment for their online purchases with affiliated merchants without the need for credit cards or even a PayPal account. With Dragonpay, they can make their payments in 7-11, at any Bayad Centers, or through their bank via supported online banking apps. 
Either way, both parties can enjoy a secured payment channel that offers a wide range of options that does not involve a credit card.
