Busy lifestyles have led a lot of Filipinos to rely on doing one-stop-shop errands at convenience stores like 7-Eleven. Apart from buying goods, ready-to-eat cooked meals, and beverages, Meralco bills can also be paid at 7-Eleven CLiQQ Kiosks, available in over 4,100 branches nationwide.

Apart from enabling 24/7 payments at the ease of your own neighborhood, 7-Eleven has partnered with Bayad, accelerating Meralco payments from 24 hours to real-time or instantaneous posting. This will greatly benefit more Filipinos as it allows them to pay on time, and avoid overdue bills or disconnection notices.

Bayad, formerly Bayad Center and the pioneer brand in the outsourced bills payment collection service in the Philippines, is now a full-service fintech subsidiary of Meralco.

Apart from Meralco, Bayad has also activated Red Fiber, Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), and National Housing Authority (NHA) in the CLiQQ Kiosk’s biller network.

On top of these, Bayad is also expected to bring in more electric and water utility brands, government fees and contributions, tollway RFID, insurance, loans, tuition fees, and many others.

Ultimately, Bayad’s partnership with 7-Eleven underscores modern convenience and digital innovation, fulfilling its shared mission of making daily lives easier for Filipinos.

Bayad President and CEO Lawrence Ferrer underscored , “Our world moved faster than we could have imagined. We at Bayad had to swiftly up our game in expanding our payment channels as we cater to the demand of providing more accessible and secured bills payment services for our kababayans who are noticeably always on the go and are becoming more and more tech-savvy. Our partnership with 7-Eleven allowed us this opportunity, highlighting our shared vision for financial consumer empowerment and driving economic growth in the country.”

7-Eleven Managing Director for Digital, Jose C. Ang, shared, “As we celebrate our 40th year in the industry, this partnership with Bayad allows us to continue to stay true to 7-Eleven's thrust to continuously innovate modern convenience and enhance customer experience. We are excited to keep serving our communities and uphold our mission of being ‘the neighbor you can count on.”

Bayad enables partners to attain nationwide presence and provides end-to-end support services for efficient payment and collection processing.

Who wouldn't know 7 Eleven? I personally grow up enjoying the brain freezing taste of slurpee. When I was a teenage year, together with my friends, we would go to 7-Eleven to enjoy Slurpee for merienda. Of course we would grab some yummy treats with 7-Eleven's daily deals. And we're satisfied.

7 Eleven gives back

As 7 Eleven celebrates being part of every Filipino's daily live, 7 Eleven also reached out to our brothers and sisters who were affected by the conflict in Marawi. Donation Boxes were deployed in all corporate 7 Eleven stores in Mindanao.

Employees and customers had the opportunity to share their blessings to help the victims by providing them with food and other in kind donations. This charitable drive started last June and will last until July 11.

Philippine Seven Corporation (PSC) also partnered with PhilSeven Foundation Inc. (PFI) and Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP) to support the 7 Eleven Global Environmental Campaign by sustaining a tree planting project at the Marikina Watershed at the Brgy. Calawis, Antipolo City.

Employees get to volunteer, along with community to enhance two hectares of an agroforesty side through the planting of 1550 fruit-bearing trees. With this activity, 7 Eleven hopes to improve the biodiversity of the Marikina Watershed and provide at least 20 households with additional income.

Pioneering Convenience Retailing

The roots of the 7 Eleven we know and love today can be traced back to 1927, 7 Eleven began when an employee of Southland Ice Company in Dallas started selling milk, eggs and bread for the ice dock, and operated 7am and 11pm.

7 Eleven is the world's largest convenience retail chain that operates, franchises, and licenses in more thatn 61,000 stores worldwide, and over 2,000 stores in the Philippines. The purveyor in convenience retailing adds two new stores every two hours to their worldwide operations.



There are so many treats that we can enjoy from our Kapitbahay, 7-Eleven. They got promos that you will enjoy and you can save as well.

For my kids they already know one of these treat, the Big Bite and Slurpee, and they were asking for it almost every merienda. So you got little ones who would want to grab some easy snack introduce the Big Bite to them and lets see.
So for the mommies out there who loves to enjoy a wonderful bonding with their kids, 7-Eleven is one place where you can bring along your kids for some thrifty treats, that's if you're low on a budget. This will be great on weekends, have a different kind of merienda treat with them and treasure this moment.
