PalawanPay introduces its Virtual Visa Card, furthering the Palawan Group of Companies’ mission to advance financial inclusion by providing accessible, secure digital payments to all Filipinos, including the unbanked.
PalawanPay CEO Third Librea shared: “For many Filipinos, owning a Visa card has always felt out of reach — something reserved for those with bank accounts or credit lines. With the PalawanPay Virtual Visa Card, we’re changing that. We built this to be simple, practical, and truly pang-masa. Now every Filipino, every suki, can access global commerce with confidence — securely and affordably.”

With just a few taps inside the PalawanPay app, verified users can instantly activate their Virtual Visa Card and start transacting online.
From e-commerce shopping and recurring bills to travel bookings and streaming subscriptions, the PalawanPay Virtual Visa Card delivers a safer, more seamless way to pay — no long forms, no rigid requirements, no hassle. True to Palawan Group’s walang kuskos-balungos promise.Palawan Group Chief Marketing Officer Bernard Kaibigan remarked: “PalawanPay’s Virtual Visa Card is more than a new feature. It is a step toward a more inclusive digital economy. Our goal is simple: to make digital finance truly para sa lahat (for everyone) — practical and within reach of every suki.”
