Starpay Corporation is now the official partner of the City of San Juan Business Permit and Licensing Office (BLPO). Residents and entrepreneurs can now conveniently process their business permits anytime, anywhere without visiting the LGU’s physical office.
This partnership is in line with Mayor Francis Zamora’s commitment to transforming San Juan into a Smart City. “The official tie-up between San Juan and Starpay for the digitalization of our Business Permit and Licensing Office will allow our investors, [and] our business sector to process payments on time,” said Mayor Francis Zamora during the launch.City Administrator Atty. Dennis Pamintuan added that since 2019, it has been the thrust of Mayor Zamora’s administration to digitalize San Juan, and that these efforts would help in the fight against corruption.
“Starpay is committed to supporting the government and LGUs. We have been helping our fellow Filipinos during the pandemic through the efficient delivery of financial support. We intend to continue assisting the government and even private institutions in delivering reliable digital services,” shared Starpay Operations Head Richard Rosettes.
Also present at the event were Starpay Chief Financial officer Ulysses Lao, Corporate Secretary, Atty. Philip Co Jr. and Director Ryan Uy.
