II remember the days when PayMaya and Uber are not around yet. Paying online is such a hassle. As a student before I only have a debit card, so when I’ll buy something online I have to go the bank and deposit money. It’s the same case for travel. We really have to line up in taxi stands or get tired on finding vacant taxies or jeeps. The times have really changed and the change is for the better. What we have now is convenience.

PAYMAYA

Convenience is exactly what PayMaya provides. It is the only prepaid wallet in the Philippines. PayMaya allows anyone to shop and pay online without a credit card. Consumers just need to download it from the Google Play or the App Store. You can also register to get a PayMaya virtual Visa card that can immediately be used for digital transactions.

Aside from the mobile app, PayMaya users can also opt to have their own PayMaya physical prepaid card, which can be used, in stores worldwide that accept Visa. Users who upgrade their account can use their PayMaya for peer-to-peer money transfers and ATM withdrawals.

It is also convenient to load up a PayMaya account. As it can be topped up at any of the over 15,000 PayMaya reloading stations nationwide that includes SM Malls Business Centers, Robinsons Department Stores, UnionBank ATMs, 7-Eleven stores with CLiQQ Kiosks, TouchPay Kiosks, and Smart Padala Centers, on top of online banking via BDO.

UBER & PAYMAYA PARTNERSHIP

Cashless transactions make life easier for riders and Uber drivers, helping both avoid delays in payment settlement immediately after the end of the trip. It also eliminates the security risk of cash handling. As part of PayMaya’s security advantages, a text message of a transaction is automatically sent to the user’s mobile number at the end of the ride.

The latest transaction history can also be viewed on the PayMaya app for easier price tracking. Since PayMaya is reloadable, consumers have more control over their expenses.
