AF Payments Inc (AFPI), the owner of the beep card brand used on Metro Manila's Light Rail Transit, has raised concerns about an online promotion that guarantees “12-month free subway rides using beep™ cards,” which can be seen on the “Manila Metro” social media page. 

In a statement, AFPI said that they categorically deny involvement in what they dubbed as a “misleading, bogus, and fraudulent promotional scheme.”

“AF Payments has not authorized the selling of any “12-month free subway rides card” or any similar promotion. We urge beep card users and commuters to prioritize safety by being vigilant and refraining from clicking on or subscribing to any suspicious links that could potentially compromise your personal and financial data,” JJ Moreno, CEO of AF Payments Inc. said.

AFPI encouraged patrons to purchase beep cards from its official outlets, such as LRT1, LRT2, and MRT3 stations, convenience stores, and online through official Shopee, and Lazada.

“We appreciate the public's consistent support and dedication to ensuring the safety and security of all beep card users,” said Moreno.

AF Payments Inc. is a provider of contactless payment solutions in the Philippines. 

AF Payments, Inc. is a consortium of Metro Pacific Investments Corp. (MPIC) and Ayala Corp.
