MANILA, Philippines – Manila North Tollways Corp. (MNTC), the tollways arm of infrastructure giant Metro Pacific Investments Corp. (MPIC), has tapped Maybank Philippines Inc. to streamline check preparation and releasing transactions.
Rodrigo Franco, president and chief executive officer of MNTC, said the check cutting service would make it more convenient for the company to settle its account with its supplies.
MNTC operates the 87-kilometer North Luzon expressway (NLEX) and has recently bagged the concession for the 94-kilometer Subic-Clark-Tarlac expressway (SCTEX) from the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA).
“The deal will enable MNTC to focus more on operating and maintaining the NLEX rather than doing the cutting and releasing of checks. It will also give more convenience to our suppliers due to Maybank’s accessible locations,” Franco said.
For his part, Maybank president and chief executive officer Herminio Famatigan Jr. said MNTC could use selected Maybank branches or all branches nationwide to release check payments under the check cutting services agreement.
“Through Maybank’s payment solution, the Check Cutting Service, MNTC will enjoy the convenience of outsourcing the preparation and releasing of their regular check payments to suppliers,” Famatigan said.
