Unlock the Future of Fast and Secure Payments with UnionBank Online’s MOBILE TAP TO PAY

“With Mobile Tap to Pay, UnionBank is elevating the everyday payment experience for Filipinos. This isn’t just a new feature—it’s a customer-first innovation that brings security, speed, and simplicity of making payments directly via our mobile app. By making digital payments as effortless as a tap without the need to bring out the physical debit or credit card, we’re empowering our customers to move through their day with confidence and ease. Whether it’s a quick coffee run, a spontaneous purchase, or a fast-paced commute, Mobile Tap to Pay is designed to keep up with our customers’ lives—making every transaction seamless and stress-free.” ~Albert Cuadrante, UnionBank’s Chief Marketing & Experience Officer

UnionBank is pleased to launch a new milestone in digital banking innovation with the launch of the Mobile Tap to Pay feature on its multi-awarded UnionBank Online app.  This most recent solution, which was created with speed, ease of use, and security in mind, allows users to make regular payments with a single tap, thereby eliminating the need for a wallet. 

Customers can use any NFC-enabled Android device connected to their UnionBank Visa Debit or Credit Card to make safe, contactless payments after the new functionality is activated on the UnionBank Online App.  Users can conduct transactions at any Visa contactless terminal in the world by only tapping their phone; no further steps or actual card are needed.

Customers can access UnionBank's tap-to-pay functionality through biometric authentication in a matter of seconds after it has been activated and launched straight from the app's login screen.  The UnionBank Online app enables customers to link or unlink their preferred debit or credit card quickly and conveniently with a single swipe, giving them the flexibility to customize their payment methods to fit their budget.  However, security is equally as important as usability.  Visa's tokenization technology, which substitutes a distinct, encrypted code for sensitive card information, secures every transaction.  This guarantees that important data is kept safe and is never kept or given to retailers.

UnionBank's position as a pioneer in digital innovation has reached yet another significant milestone with this launch.  UnionBank, one of the first Philippine banks to incorporate native Mobile Tap to Pay capability into its app, keeps providing solutions that are not only technically sound but also user-friendly and sensitive to modern lifestyles.

Customers now enjoy global convenience with the local dependability they have come to expect from UnionBank thanks to the new app feature, which is compatible with millions of Visa contactless payment terminals globally, from local cafés to international shops.

UnionBank’s Mobile Tap to Pay is more than a new way to pay; it’s a step toward more seamless, secure, and future-forward banking experiences.
