The Bayad Center is probably one of the most visited businesses that does not sell anything. The Bayad Center is a Meralco Company … it is a payment and remittance center that most Filipinos trust. Our country couldn’t stress enough how Filipinos Overseas have helped our economy. In 2014, Overseas Pinoys reach a record high remittance of $26.9 Billion. This solid stream of remittances has played a major role in the country’s economy through the years thanks to our kababayans abroad.
Overseas remittance does not only help the economy in general but also help improve the quality of living of their recipients, hence, we consider our Kababayans abroad as our modern day heroes.
BAYAD CENTER with the advantage of technology and innovation wants to applaud and honor these overseas Pinoys with a service that would enable them to do seamless transactions in aid of their families and loved ones in the country.

BAYAD CENTER is the Philippines’ pioneer and leader in the bills payment collection industry backed by Meralco‘s seal of service and integrity. It accepts 170 types of bills in its system, covering Electricity, Water, Landline, Internet and Cable.
Aside from home or office based computers, consumers can also view and do their transactions using their mobile phone 24/7 as long as they have a valid email account and an internet service. Payments are transacted thru Paypal and are accepting all major credit/debit cards.
