Tagum Coop has its new partners in harnessing the thrust of the businesses it operates from collection hubs to hotel accommodation.

            ECPay and NIDA Rooms are now part of the Tagum Coop family after a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) was signed on June 6, 2016, Monday evening during the regular Board Meeting.

            Present to sign the MOA were Tagum Coop Chairperson Monica L. Salido along with the members of the Board of Directors (BOD) and the management, c, partnership manager of NIDA Rooms Tagum Davao area, and personnel from the ECPay representing President Raymund Jude Aguilar.

            With this endeavor, Electronic Commerce Payments, Inc or ECPay now serves as the partner of Tagum Coop in the collection of bills and payments of the latter’s members.

            The partnership with ECPay came after the BOD approved a resolution in March this year to expand the collection services of the Coop to its 11 branches, from just one Bayad Center in NCCC Mall of Tagum.

            The putting up of payment centers was in line with the institution’s 6-year strategic planning of “maximizing organizational effectiveness, under the Internal Business Process”.

            ECPay is a Collection Payments Processor since 2001 with over 4, 500 retail outlets nationwide including appliance centers, banks, convenience stores, gas stations, pawnshops, and supermarkets/department stores.

            Meanwhile, NIDA Rooms (Global Rooms Philippines, Inc.) now becomes the partner of Tagum Coop in promoting and advertising its Budgetel business not just in the country but in Southeast Asia.

            Guests who wish to check in at the TC Budgetel may book reservation without hassle through the NIDA Rooms mobile app or via website as five rooms in the Budgetel are now branded by the latter.

            NIDA Rooms, considered as Asia’s Largest Hotel chain, is a foreign-based hotel room consolidator which started its operation in the country since 2015.

            With these partnerships, Tagum Cooperative went an extra mile leveling up its operations especially in providing avenues for members to access the Cooperative wherever they are. (Tagum Cooperative)
