BSP Cabanatuan Branch’s Currency Exchange Center, Producers Savings Bank Corporation, also conducted a Piso Caravan to exchange dirty and mutilated money for new bills or e-wallet credits, while financial service providers helped citizens open bank or e-wallet accounts that they can use for QR Ph transactions. As of September 2024, over 130 local government units have adopted Paleng-QR Ph Plus.
