So, we opened up our next Retail Treasury Bond offering to an online platform like Bonds.Ph that allows investors to use e-wallets like PayMaya to invest in RTBs,”
said National Treasurer Rosalia de Leon.
“Opening up various online channels that allows Filipinos to invest will ensure a wider participation from individual investors, particularly for this offering,”
