This expanded range of payment options enables families to settle financial obligations at any time and from anywhere, without the need for on-campus transactions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the system\u2019s key features is its real-time payment posting, which ensures that transactions are reflected in students\u2019 accounts immediately. This eliminates verification delays and contributes to a more efficient, streamlined enrollment experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The partnership was formalized through a contract signing with Smart Pay Asia Philippines Incorporated, represented by its president and chief executive officer, Mr. Henry Diaz. On behalf of AUP, the agreement was signed by Mrs. Aileenmae Silverio, vice president for finance, in the presence of Mrs. Raiza Angela Almocera, University controller.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The introduction of SmartPay reflects AUP\u2019s ongoing efforts to integrate technology into its services while upholding its commitment to excellence, efficiency, and stewardship. By adopting secure and accessible digital solutions, the University continues to enhance the overall experience of its students and stakeholders.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In line with its commitment to innovation and improved student services, the Adventist University of the Philippines (AUP) officially introduced SmartPay on March 10, 2026, a new digital payment feature [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[53],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9464","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-28 02:29:40","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aup.edu.ph\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9464","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aup.edu.ph\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aup.edu.ph\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aup.edu.ph\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aup.edu.ph\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9464"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.aup.edu.ph\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9464\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9468,"href":"https:\/\/www.aup.edu.ph\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9464\/revisions\/9468"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aup.edu.ph\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9464"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aup.edu.ph\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9464"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aup.edu.ph\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9464"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
