How to Pay Bills in the Philippines From the USA

Living in the U.S does not mean you have to put your financial responsibilities in the Philippines on hold. 

Whether you are supporting your family, maintaining your SSS and Pag-IBIG contributions, or paying household bills back home, Smiles Mobile Remittance makes it easier to manage eligible Philippine bills from the U.S.

With Smiles’ bills payment feature, you can pay eligible government, utility and other bills directly through the app. No need to wait until your next trip to the Philippines or ask someone back home to make the payment for you. 

Pay Philippine Bills from the USA

Being far from home can make everyday financial responsibilities more difficult to manage. You may need to help your family pay for electricity, keep up with government contributions or make payments for a property or loan in the Philippines. 

Smiles gives you a convenient way to handle eligible bills from your phone. 

Depending on the billers available in the app, you can use Smiles to make payments such as:

• SSS contributions for eligible members
• Pag-IBIG contributions and loan payments
• Meraclo electricity bills
• Other utility and household bills
• Other participating Philippine billers

With these options in one app, you can take care of important payments even when you are thousands of miles away.

Keep up with SSS and Pag-IBIG contributions

For many Filipinos in the U.S., staying connected to financial programs in the Philippines is still important. If you are an eligible SSS member, continuing your contributions can help you maintain your membership and work toward benefits you may qualify for. 

You may also want to continue your Pag-IBIG savings or manage an existing Pag-IBIG housing loan while living abroad. 

Smiles can help make these payments more convenient by allowing you to manage eligible SSS and Pag-IBIG payments from the U.S.  Just make sure you have the correct account information and payment details before completing your transaction. 

Pay electricity and other utility bills

Your family’s monthly bills do not stop just because you moved abroad. If you help cover your family’s electricity bill, for example, you can use Smiles to pay an eligible Meralco bill from the U.S. 

You can also use Smiles for other eligible utility and household bills available in the app. This means you can help keep the lights on, support your family and manage household expenses without having to send money first and ask someone else to make the payment. 

Why use Smiles for Philippine Bills?
