Filipinos in Bahrain can now enjoy seamless digital financial services, thanks to a new partnership between PLDT Global and stc Pay Bahrain.

The partnership integrates PLDT Global’s digital services into the stc Pay Bahrain mobile wallet, allowing overseas Filipinos to manage finances, send support to their families, and settle bills—all within a single app. 

Users can top up mobile credits, pay postpaid bills, and access Philippine utility and government services with ease.

Expanding digital reach

stc Pay Bahrain will also onboard PLDT Global’s digital vouchers, electronic gifts, subscription PINs, and bills payment services through Vortex, PLDT Global’s secure digital distribution platform. 

This ensures smooth transactions while expanding PLDT Global’s footprint in the Middle East.“This collaboration with stc Pay adds to our portfolio of services for Filipinos in the Middle East, promoting convenience and enhancing their overall experience,” said Albert V. Villa-Real, president and CEO of PLDT Global.

“We are committed to providing reliable and innovative solutions that empower our customers and their families,” he added.
