DOLE AND DSWD DISBURSEMENT PLATFORM
- March 31, 2021
Embodying its mission to provide accessible financial services in the rural areas, select Rang-ay Bank branches are now platforms for disbursement of Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and Department Of Labor and Employment (DOLE) subsidies.
Made possible through a partnership with RCBC via Diskartech- an online-based aid disbursement portal. Beneficiaries now have more accessible and hassle-free way to receive their subsidies. This will especially benefit those in smaller towns and people who do not have existing ATM accounts. Instead of going through lengthy processes such as opening an account, getting or renewing ID’s to fulfill account requirements and lining up in queues to withdraw, this new disbursement platform provided by Diskartech to Rang-ay Bank allows easy cash out for the beneficiaries and an easier disbursement for the government agencies. The beneficiary only needs to present a provided Beneficiary Registration Number (BRN) and Barangay Clearance or any government issued ID.
Social Amelioration Program (SAP) of DOLE and DSWD is a cash emergency subsidy program (ESP) for Filipino families whose lives are greatly affected by the pandemic. It was created by the Bayanihan To Heal As One Act .
DOLE and DSWD disbursement truncheon will be initially made available in 21 of 30 Rang-ay Branches namely: San Fernando Highway Branch, San Juan, Aringay, Agoo, Tubao, Rosario (La Union); Laoag, Dingras, Bangui (Ilocos Norte), Bangued (Abra); Vigan City, Magsingal, Sinait, Narvacan, Burgos, Candon City, Sta.
