Here are quick ways on how to reload your Beep Card online.
Launched in 2015 as a new contactless card payments system, it became the primary transportation method for Metro Manila train lines (LRT-1, LRT-2, and MRT-3), as well as secondary payments for other transportation modes (P2P buses, e-Trikes in Intramuros, Manila) and retail establishments (including, but not limited to, Wendy’s, FamilyMart, Robinsons Movieworld).
Beep has also been expanded in use and is now used in schools, such as in St. Jude Catholic School. They are the first to allow its faculty, staff and Grades 6 to 12 students to purchase cash-free from merchants inside the campus and avail student discounts in PUVs accepting beep cards. We’re detailing various ways on how you can reload your beep card online:
Reload Online via Credit/Debit Card, GCash, or Bank Transfer

Reload via Coins.ph
eWallet app Coins.PH can also reload your beep cards. Here’s the catch: Your phone must have NFC for this to proceed, but it’s fairly faster than other methods. Simply open the coins.ph app and choose to reload
Reload via Paymaya
We’ve also detailed in the button below the instructions on how to reload using Paymaya, no NFC phone needed. All you need is your 16-digit number at the back, so you’re out of luck if you already customized your card.
Reloading with any of these methods, surprisingly, takes only about a few minutes as we checked with our beep app. Give it a try yourself and leave a comment below about your experience!
