Hate rushing between different banks or offices to pay your bills? Or maybe you loathe dealing with overdue bills and disconnection notices? Good thing bills payment centers are accessible to Filipinos who need to settle their utility, government, and credit card bills all at the same time. These one-stop bills payment facilities are located in malls, supermarkets, convenience stores, and commercial buildings in cities, and even in remote towns. Not only can you do your shopping and perform other errands, but you can also save a separate trip just to pay off bills. Additionally, bills payment centers also provide other financial services such as money remittance, money exchange, e-loading, and airline ticketing. So instead of making a trip to your nearest Meralco bayad center or Converge payment center, for example, you can just go to a bills payment center. Certainly paying bills online is the faster option, but there are still a lot of people who prefer to pay bills in cash or check over-the-counter. So if you’re one of these people, these are some bills payment centers that you can go to before your next due date.

What is a Credit Score and Why Should I Improve It?
- By Venus Zoleta
- January 19, 2021
]Do you know what your credit score is? You may not realize it, but this number can make or break your finances. Let’s say you’re applying for a loan to start a business. You’re confident that you’d be approved because you met all the qualifications and submitted all the requirements. Your income documents also prove that you can repay the loan. Much to your surprise, the bank denied your application. What could be wrong, you wonder. Banks consider a variety of factors to decide whether to lend money to someone or not. Apart from the financial information submitted via a loan or credit card application, banks also use a borrower’s credit report and credit score to gauge his or her ability to pay back a debt. “Banks lend other people’s money to borrowers. Therefore, they’re accountable. People should understand that banks cannot just lend to anyone without any basis,” said Credit Information Corporation Board Member Suzanne Felix in an ANC interview[1]. Keeping track of your credit score in the Philippines is crucial to managing your personal finances. It’s important to understand what it is, how it works, and why you need to check yours.
