THE Supreme Court of the Philippines, in partnership with UnionBank of the Philippines, has added both GCash and GrabPay as additional Judiciary ePayment System (JePS) payment channels in its effort to continuously improve the JePS for a more safe, secure, and convenient way of paying court fees online.
The JePS is a platform that allows the assessment and payment of legal fees and other collections of the Judiciary in a more convenient and accessible manner by providing litigants, their counsels/representatives, and persons requesting for clearances, certifications, and other services from the courts the option to pay online through major banks and digital wallets.
Litigants may access the JePS platform at https://epayment.judiciary.gov.ph/. Users simply need to click the ‘Go to Assessment Calculator’ button and fill in the necessary details.
After filling in the details, users will be redirected to the Payment Options page where they will be able to choose their preferred payment channel which includes UnionBank online, FortunePay, GCash, GrabPay, InstaPay, and PesoNet. An electronic official receipt shall immediately be generated after payment which may be downloaded and printed out by the users.
The JePS aims to streamline the processes of assessment and payment of court fees, increase accessibility of the public to judicial services, increase transparency and accountability, and provide the Supreme Court with efficient accounting and auditing mechanisms. The JePS is currently deployed in all first-level courts and in 44 second-level pilot courts.
For concerns or information regarding the JePS, please email jeps.support@judiciary.gov.ph.
