Chief Justice Diosdado Peralta reached an agreement with Union Bank that would allow the judiciary to receive online payments from litigants, their counsels and their representatives.
The Supreme Court Public Information Office (SCPIO) said in a statement Peralta signed a memorandum of agreement (MOU) with the bank last March 15 for the development of the Judiciary ePayment Solution.
The SCPIO said the project is “greatly beneficial to the courts and the general public as it will streamline the processes on the assessment and payment of court fees.”
“The Judiciary ePayment Solution will involve an application designed to provide the courts the options to receive fees and payments digitally from litigants, their counsels and representatives in a safe, secure, real-time, 24/7 basis from anywhere at their convenience,”it said.
SC said Peralta said during the signing that the agreement “it comes at a very opportune time as the Philippine Judiciary is currently in the midst of its quest for digital transformation and at a time when online service is a great advantage due to the COVID-19 pandemic when face-to-face transactions are discouraged whenever possible.”
With this, the chief justice invited other banks to also make similar agreements with the SC.
