Protection for QR Ph payments

QR Ph unified QR payments in the Philippines: one code for every bank and e-wallet. One code also means one single point to tamper with.

QR Ph: 1. Normal purchase: The payer is about to scan the QR Ph. 2. Scam attempt: The QR code is swapped: the destination account would now be a different one. 3. Blocked: Proteside detects the swap and blocks it. 4. Payment intact: QR code intact. The store gets paid.

The payer is about to scan the QR Ph.

QR Ph · Philippines

QR Ph is the Philippine national standard: the payer scans it with any participating bank or e-wallet and the transfer settles instantly. Online, the code displayed by the page is the source of truth.

How the attack happens without anyone noticing

  • QR Ph swapped on the page

    The national QR code on display is replaced with another registered one, routing the payment to the scammer, and any participating app will accept it.

  • Tampered destination

    The destination details shown with the charge are swapped for similar ones.

  • Manipulated amount

    The displayed dynamic charge has its amount altered.

How it works

Four layers between the scam and your payment

  • 1

    Record what’s legitimate

    Proteside records the legitimate QR Ph, destination and amount of every charge.

  • 2

    On-screen check

    It checks that the code shown to the payer is exactly what was issued.

  • 3

    Block before confirmation

    Tampering is blocked before the code is scanned or the payment confirmed.

  • 4

    Alert and evidence

    An alert and a record of the attempt for your team.

The technical details of detection and blocking are Proteside’s proprietary technology and are shown in a demo, using your real scenario. How it works

Protection scope

What’s covered

  • The QR Ph shown on your checkout, payment links and logged-in web areas
  • Destination account and amount shown to the payer
  • Content copied with the “copy code” button
  • Scripts and extensions that try to alter the payment page

Out of scope

  • Printed QR codes or stickers displayed in physical stores
  • Scams that happen outside your page (messages, phone calls or fake profiles)
  • Settlement between institutions, which is already protected by the payment scheme’s infrastructure

Also protected by the same installation

One installation, every payment method in your checkout.

Frequently asked questions

Does it cover banks and e-wallets at the same time?

Yes. QR Ph is interoperable. With the displayed code intact, any participant settles to the right destination.

How does it work alongside my local payment provider?

Nothing changes in your flow: Proteside is a verification layer on the page, compatible with the provider you already use.
