Landbank offers online payment of traffic fines  

MANILA, Philippines —  State-run Land Bank of the Philippines has launched an alternative electronic payment facility that will allow traffic violators under the single ticketing system in Metro Manila to settle their fines online.

For an easier and more accessible online payment system, the Landbank Link.BizPortal has been integrated into the single ticketing system webpage of the apprehending local government units (LGUs).

Motorists may settle traffic fines through the Link.BizPortal using their Landbank and Overseas Filipino Bank accounts as well as through electronic wallet LandbankPay.

Accounts with BancNet or PayGate participating banks and other e-wallets may also be utilized when transacting through the Landbank Link.BizPortal.

The cash payment option is likewise available through cash and Landbank agent banking partners.

The Link.BizPortal eliminates the need to go to the offices of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) and apprehending LGUs for over-the-counter transactions, providing motorists with a safe and convenient option to settle traffic fines anytime and anywhere.

Prior to the pilot implementation of the single ticketing system in Metro Manila, Landbank has been facilitating the online collection of MMDA payments, fees and charges through the Link.BizPortal since June 2021.

As of end-April, the Landbank Link.BizPortal has recorded over 160 transactions amounting to P109,734 for the settlement of traffic violations and anti-littering fines for the MMDA.

The pilot implementation of the single ticketing system covering Caloocan, Manila, Muntinlupa, Parañaque, San Juan, Valenzuela and Quezon City started on May 2.

The scheme seeks to harmonize existing laws on traffic enforcement and management in Metro Manila, including standardizing the fines for common traffic violations and providing interconnectivity among government agencies involved in transportation.
