Cebu’s vibrant food scene continues to thrive, offering everything from casual cafés to destination restaurants that draw crowds from across the city. For many young professionals, eating out isn’t just about the food—it’s a way to connect, unwind, and celebrate milestones.
Alongside this lifestyle trend is the growing shift toward cashless payments. More diners are choosing to tap or scan to pay for their meals, instead of waiting in line or digging for change.
Cashless food adventure. Cebu's young professionals enjoy the ease of paying for food trips using BDO's payment app, debit and credit cards.
Smarter ways to pay
With BDO, customers now enjoy more seamless payment options that fit effortlessly into their day, whether they are dining in, ordering out, or on the move.
BDO customers can tap their debit and credit cards at the counter for a quick, seamless checkout. With BDO Pay, they can send money, scan to pay at partner merchants, or split bill with friends. Every transaction links straight to their bank account or credit card, making it easy to pay—no need to cash in or transfer funds between digital wallets.
Beyond convenience, cashless payments offer better control over spending. Real-time transaction tracking lets users see exactly where their money goes, the moment it’s spent. For young professionals balancing income, savings, and lifestyle expenses, this makes budgeting easier and helps curb overspending.
Unlock exclusive perks
Cashless dining becomes even more rewarding with exclusive promos. BDO cardholders get discounts, cashback offers, and other perks that add value to everyday spending. When paired with BDO Pay, these benefits become more attractive through app-exclusive deals.
Ongoing until June 15, 2026, BDO Pay is offering a Scan to Pay promo that gives diners 5% cashback or up to P1,000 when they spend at least P500 in restaurants nationwide. For Cebu’s food lovers, this means more value with every meal.
For those new to Scan to Pay, getting started is easy:
Step 1: Open the BDO Pay app and tap Scan QR from the dashboard or from Pay & Request menu
Step 2: Scan the merchant’s QR (works with all official QRPh codes) or generate a QR to show to the merchant to pay
Step 3: Enter the amount and select your source account—bank account or credit card
Step 4: Review, confirm and authenticate to complete payment
Scan, pay and savor life
With BDO’s cashless payment options, diners can skip the hassle and focus on what matters: good food, great company, and shared moments.
