Payment gateway startup Payrex has partnered with Billease, one of the Philippines’ fastest-growing Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) platforms, to bring flexible payment options to thousands of merchants — both online and in-store — through a single, seamless API integration.
With this collaboration, merchants using Payrex can instantly enable Billease at checkout, giving customers the freedom to pay in installments while helping small businesses boost conversions, increase average order value, and reduce abandoned carts.
Edwin Lacierda, Co-Founder and CEO of Payrex, shared:
“From day one, our mission has been to simplify payments for developers and make modern payment tools accessible to businesses of all sizes. By integrating Billease directly into our platform, we’re empowering merchants to offer flexible credit at scale — without the technical headaches.”
Built to make payment infrastructure more intuitive and developer-friendly, Payrex has quickly become the preferred gateway for startups and SMEs that want to launch payment experiences minus the complex integrations and compliance hurdles. Meanwhile, Billease, operated by First Digital Finance Corporation (FDFC), stands as the country’s top BNPL service — serving millions of active users and a fast-growing ecosystem of merchants across retail, electronics, lifestyle, and more.
Kurt Molina, Head of POS Product at Billease, added:
“This partnership brings together Payrex’s simple, powerful payment stack and Billease’s trusted credit engine. It creates a frictionless way for merchants to drive more sales — and for customers to pay the way they prefer.”
As Southeast Asia’s BNPL market continues to surge, fueled by young, digital-first consumers and the region’s explosive e-commerce growth, Payrex is positioning flexibility as the new standard for how Filipinos shop. By embedding Billease directly into its payment rails, the company is paving the way for a faster, smarter, and more inclusive payment experience.
