PayMaya sees continuous strong growth for bills payment transactions as Filipinos seek safer, more convenient, and more rewarding ways to pay

Filipinos can now settle payments at over 550 billers using the PayMaya app, the most number and widest range of billers offered by a Philippine e-wallet to date – enabling consumers with a safer, more convenient, and more rewarding way to pay.   

 

From monthly utilities like water and electricity, to insurance, loans, credit cards, schools, real estate, healthcare, and government services, PayMaya enables Filipinos to pay their bills from the safety of their homes. PayMaya's Pay Bills feature also enables consumers to easily donate to their chosen cause and organizations - allowing Filipinos to perform digital bayanihan with just a few taps on their smartphones.

PayMaya's extensive list of billers spans across the country - covering utility providers in provinces including Baguio, Pampanga, Nueva Ecija, Bicol, Cebu, Cagayan De Oro, South Cotabato, Iligan, Zamboanga, and many more. With this, Filipinos even in the farthest reaches of the country are able to enjoy cashless convenience in their pay bills transactions. 

 

On top of this, paying bills via PayMaya also allows consumers to add another layer of safety to their essential transactions – keeping it contactless and safe from the spread of the COVID-19 virus.  

 

“In these challenging times, PayMaya has always made it its priority to ensure that Filipinos are able to complete their everyday transactions in the safest way possible through digital payments. As more consumers turn to our platform for their payment needs, we are proud to bring this widest list and range of active billers within their reach, and provide them with safe, convenient, and rewarding payment experience,” said Shailesh Baidwan, President of PayMaya Philippines.  

 

Contactless and cashless payments have become the preferred payment option of Filipinos for bills payment since the quarantine measures have been implemented last year. In 2020 alone, PayMaya’s transaction volume for bills payment more than tripled from the previous year.  

 

PayMaya sees continuous strong growth for bills payment transactions as Filipinos seek safer, more convenient, and more rewarding ways to pay through its consumer e-wallet app. 

 

To make it more rewarding, consumers who will use their PayMaya app this May to settle two bills worth at least P1,500 each will automatically get a P50 cashback. Meanwhile, those paying their bill via PayMaya for the first time will be rewarded with a P100 cashback for a minimum spend of P1,000. If they pay for a credit card, loan, or insurance bill for the first time, they will also get an additional P50 cashback voucher, for a total of P150 reward!

Five reasons why PayMaya is the best way for students to receive their allowances

  

Juggling work and parenting can be quite a challenge especially as we ease into the back-to-school season. Luckily, as parents in the digital world, there are countless tools and apps available to help you complete your household management and work tasks simultaneously.    

This includes the PayMaya app - which provides parents a faster, safer, and more convenient way to give allowances to their children – especially those who are off to senior high school and college.  

Here are five reasons why using PayMaya is the best way for students to receive their allowances:    

   

It provides awesome perks for students  

Sending your children’s allowances via PayMaya is not only efficient, it is also practical. With the various discounts and promos offered by PayMaya, you and your teenager can definitely pile up on cashbacks and discounts each time you transact. PayMaya offers a wide range of promos, providing the best deals catering to its student-customers.  

  

It is fast and convenient   

With PayMaya, you can easily send your child’s allowance in just seconds – no need to fumble for the exact amount of cash in your wallet every single day. In times of urgent need, having your PayMaya can also come in handy, because sending emergency money from the confines of your office is just as easy as a few taps on your phone and can be done within seconds.  You can also easily send funds to your or your child's PayMaya wallet from your bank account through InstaPay.  

  

It is more secure than giving cash   

By sending their allowance straight to their PayMaya account, students can avoid instances where they lose or misplace their money. They can also track their expenses as they receive an SMS after each transaction – whether by using their PayMaya QR, virtual card or physical card.    

There are already cashless campuses which accept card and QR transactions including Lyceum University of the Philippines – Batangas and soon, the University of the Philippines. These universities, along with STI also provide PayMaya-powered IDs to their students. Of course, in times where they do need their cash, they can easily withdraw money from any Bancnet ATM near their home or school.    

   

It teaches them financial responsibility   

If your children are heading to college, this season is a great opportunity for parents to also let them handle and manage their own money – which means allowing them to budget their allowances, track their expenses, and even save up a little fund for their hobbies or simply hanging out with their friends. One way to do this is by sending them their weekly allowance, instead of daily, via PayMaya.   

With PayMaya, saving up is easier as they can easily track their spending within the app. They also get discounts on their in-app purchases which includes prepaid load, gaming pins, and even select goodies at PayMaya Treats.   

   

It empowers them to make their own purchases    

Using their savings to purchase items that give them joy or allow them to pursue their passions - whether these are gaming pins, a cute new purse at Zalora, or art supplies at the National Bookstore – will surely make them feel empowered and inspired to keep saving money.   

With PayMaya on hand, they can purchase all these items and more, in the safest, most convenient way, with the most value for their money.
