Philippine Virtual Account
Used by Philippine businesses collecting PHP
HitPay’s Philippine Virtual Account is used by Philippine-registered businesses - from Makati and BGC distributors receiving PHP transfers from provincial partners, to Cebu online sellers collecting from GCash, card, and QRPh customers, to franchise operators consolidating remittances across branches - all through the same HitPay merchant account and dashboard.
01. Unified Collections
Philippine businesses often juggle a customer payment app and a separate bank account, matching records by hand monthly. HitPay merges both: one account accepts customer cards, GCash, QR PH, ShopeePay, and GrabPay, plus a permanent Virtual Account number that any InstaPay or PESONet bank or wallet can pay into - supplier repayments, distributor settlements, and partner remittances, all on one ledger.
Customer payments (C2B) - cards, GCash, QR PH, ShopeePay, GrabPay, SPayLater, BillEase, payment links
Inbound transfers - any InstaPay or PESONet-enabled bank or e-wallet
One dashboard, one ledger, one reconciliation export - no manual matching
Same account, same login - no second app for incoming transfers

02. Every Bank, Every Wallet
A GCash account only receives GCash transfers; a Maya account only receives Maya transfers. HitPay issues one 12-character Virtual Account number on the InstaPay and PESONet networks, so GCash, Maya, BPI, BDO, UnionBank, and every other participating bank or e-wallet can all send to it. No separate wallet QR codes, no second app - one number, and funds settle instantly.
GCash, Maya, BPI, BDO, UnionBank, and every other InstaPay/PESONet participant
Instant settlement - funds appear as soon as the transfer clears
One account number and reference to share - no per-wallet QR codes to manage

03. Simple, Flat Pricing
HitPay charges one flat PHP 15 fee per inbound collection - the same whether a customer pays via QR or a distributor tops up the persistent account, regardless of sending bank or e-wallet. There are no monthly fees and no setup fees.
PHP 15 flat fee per inbound collection - top-ups and customer payments alike
PHP 0 monthly account fees, PHP 0 setup fees
Predictable pricing regardless of sending bank or e-wallet

04. Built for PH Merchants
HitPay’s PHP Virtual Account is available to Philippine-registered sole proprietors, partnerships, and corporations with a valid PH business bank account - the same requirement as any HitPay merchant account. Existing merchants collecting via card, GCash, or QR PH activate it from their dashboard, no new KYB. New businesses complete one onboarding and get both, with no setup fees.

The HitPay difference
E-wallet business accounts only receive within their own network. HitPay’s Virtual Account receives from every InstaPay and PESONet bank and e-wallet, and also collects from your customers - all inside your existing HitPay merchant account.

frequently asked questions
The questions Philippines business owners ask most when evaluating payment solutions — answered clearly.
What is HitPay's Virtual Account and how does it work?
HitPay's Virtual Account is a persistent local PHP collection account added to a business's existing HitPay dashboard. Each business receives a unique 12-character account number that any InstaPay or PESONet-enabled bank or e-wallet - GCash, Maya, BPI, BDO, UnionBank, and others - can transfer to. Funds arrive instantly and appear in the same dashboard as the business's customer payment collections, with no separate app or login required.
What payment methods can a Philippine HitPay merchant offer customers at checkout?
HitPay merchants in the Philippines can accept customer payments via cards, GCash, QR PH, ShopeePay, SPayLater, GrabPay, BillEase, PESONet, UnionBank Online, and over-the-counter channels like Bayad, ECPay, and Palawan Express. The same checkout also supports regional and international wallets for cross-border customers, including PayNow, QRIS, DuitNow, Touch 'n Go, WeChat Pay, PromptPay, TrueMoney, VietQR, ZaloPay, KakaoPay, PayCo, LINE Pay, and UPI. This checkout method list is separate from the persistent Virtual Account, which receives inbound InstaPay or PESONet bank and e-wallet transfers rather than card or wallet checkout payments.
Which banks and e-wallets can send money to a HitPay Philippine Virtual Account?
Any bank or e-wallet connected to the InstaPay or PESONet interbank networks can send to a HitPay Virtual Account, including GCash, Maya, BPI, BDO, UnionBank, and the wider Philippine banking network. Senders do not need a HitPay account of their own - they only need the business's account number, which functions like a normal Philippine bank account number for receiving transfers.
How long do transfers take to arrive in a HitPay Virtual Account?
Transfers sent via InstaPay or PESONet to a HitPay Philippine Virtual Account settle instantly and are reflected in the business's HitPay dashboard as soon as the sending bank or e-wallet confirms the transfer. This applies equally to transfers into the business's persistent collection account and to one-time QR payments generated for a specific order or invoice.
What fees apply to HitPay's Philippine Virtual Account?
HitPay charges a flat PHP 15 fee per inbound collection to the Philippine Virtual Account, whether the transfer is a top-up to the business's persistent account or a customer payment against a specific order. There are no monthly account fees and no setup fees. The fee is the same regardless of which bank or e-wallet the sender uses.
Is there a minimum transfer amount for the Virtual Account?
Yes. HitPay's Philippine Virtual Account has a minimum transfer amount of PHP 20. This minimum is not enforced by HitPay itself, and applies consistently regardless of which sending bank or e-wallet is used.
Is the persistent Virtual Account the same as the QR code used for a single payment?
No. HitPay's persistent Philippine Virtual Account is a permanent account number that stays the same and can receive unlimited transfers over time - used for supplier repayments, distributor settlements, or general top-ups. A dynamic QR code, by contrast, is generated for a single order or invoice, is locked to that specific amount, and expires after a short validity window of around 5 minutes. Both flows use the same InstaPay/PESONet rails and the same PHP 15 fee, and both appear in the same HitPay dashboard.
Does a business need to open a new account to use the Philippine Virtual Account?
No. The Philippine Virtual Account is available inside an existing HitPay account. Businesses already using HitPay for card, GCash, or QR PH payment collections can activate it from their current dashboard without a new vendor relationship or a second KYB process. New businesses complete standard onboarding once and gain access to both customer payment tools and the Virtual Account together.
What types of Philippine businesses can open a HitPay Virtual Account?
Philippine-registered sole proprietors, partnerships, and corporations can open a HitPay Virtual Account, provided they meet HitPay's standard merchant requirements, including a valid Philippine business bank account for settlement. Common users include online sellers, distributors and wholesalers, freelancers and agencies invoicing local clients, and any business that receives payments or transfers from multiple banks or e-wallets and wants them consolidated in a single account.
How does HitPay reconcile customer payments and inbound transfers together?
HitPay's dashboard lists customer payments - cards, GCash, QR PH, ShopeePay, GrabPay - alongside inbound InstaPay and PESONet transfers to the Virtual Account in a single, unified transaction ledger, each tagged with its sender, amount, and fee. Businesses can export a combined reconciliation report covering both flows instead of maintaining separate records for customer collections and incoming transfers.
How does authentication work when a platform creates a payment on behalf of a sub-merchant?
Sub-merchants in the Philippines can accept GCash, Maya, QR Ph, InstaPay, PESONet bank transfers, and Visa or Mastercard, all created through the Platform API. Filipino sub-merchants complete the same Business Verification and receive payouts directly to their own bank account, just like sub-merchants in Singapore and Malaysia.
What documents are needed to open a HitPay Virtual Account in the Philippines?
Philippine businesses provide standard business registration documents - such as DTI or SEC registration, a valid government ID for the business owner or authorised representative, and a Philippine business bank account for settlement - as part of HitPay's onboarding process, the same requirement as any HitPay merchant account. Sign-up is fully online, and there are no setup fees for opening the Virtual Account.
Who processes transfers into a HitPay Philippine Virtual Account, and is it safe?
Transfers into HitPay's Philippine Virtual Account are processed through HitPay's Philippine banking partner, over the InstaPay and PESONet interbank networks. Each business is issued its own unique 12-character account number rather than a shared or pooled wallet, and funds credited to the account are reflected in the HitPay dashboard and can be withdrawn to the business's own bank account.
How is a HitPay Virtual Account different from just using a GCash or Maya business account?
A GCash or Maya business account can only receive transfers sent within that same wallet's network. HitPay's Virtual Account receives from any InstaPay or PESONet-connected bank or e-wallet - including GCash and Maya - through a single account number, and unifies those inbound transfers with the business's own customer card, GCash, and QR PH payment collections in one dashboard, rather than requiring separate apps for each.
