Through this collaboration, EastWest clients can now integrate PayMongo’s online payment gateway at preferential MDR rates, giving them access to card, wallet, and digital payment acceptance at significantly competitive pricing.
“This partnership is about giving businesses the Easier Way to bank and transact,” said Jerry Ngo, Chief Executive Officer of EastWest. “By including PayMongo’s capabilities into our ecosystem, we’re enabling easier online payments, faster settlement, and a smoother digital commerce experience, all at a cost that supports their growth.”
“We’re pleased to partner with EastWest in broadening access to digital payment solutions for more Filipino entrepreneurs,” said Jojo Malolos, CEO of PayMongo. “By working together, we can offer tools that make digital transactions easier and support the operational needs of today’s entrepreneurs — all while contributing to stronger digital financial infrastructure in the Philippines.”

By aligning payments, settlements, and banking services, EastWest is positioning itself as a strategic innovation partner for businesses navigating a digital economy.
More is on the horizon. As fintech trends such as blockchain-backed stablecoins, interoperable APIs, and BNPL reshape how companies move and manage money, EastWest and PayMongo aim to expand their collaboration, exploring ways to integrate these technologies into future solutions that support the growth of entrepreneurs. Together with PayMongo, the Bank is delivering more accessible digital payments and enabling entrepreneurs to operate more efficiently.
