There are endless possibilities online. That pair of shoes you’ve been eyeing in Zalora, that just-released novel you’ve been wanting to read at Amazon, or even that Bali trip you’ve been itching to book via Philippine Airlines - they can all be yours in just one click. Shopping can be a breeze now that you don’t have to bear the hassle of EDSA traffic or those terrible long lines in the counter just to buy that perfect little black dress. These days, you can purchase anything you ever want or need while sitting on your comfy couch, drinking coffee. Convenient, right?
Not too long ago, this might only have been possible if you have a credit card - which you need in order to purchase online. The dilemma in this is that according to the Consumer Finance Survey conducted by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, 80% of Filipinos do not have a credit card or even a bank account - making them miss out on all of these amazing deals.
“We view PayMaya as the first step in taking Filipinos to the digital world. As online shopping becomes more popular in the Philippines, we want everyone - particularly the unbanked and the uncarded - to benefit from the comfort and convenience it brings,” says Paolo Azzola, co-COO of PayMaya.
With this much possibility at your fingertips, it is almost a duty to take full advantage of the opportunities the digital life has to offer. Not having a credit card hinders Filipinos from doing just that.
No credit card? No problem!
In comes PayMaya, the ultimate all-in-one digital payments mobile app that actually works as a virtual Visa card. With PayMaya, more Filipinos will get the chance to enjoy the perks of shopping at the comfort of their own home - even without a credit card. With this app in hand, there is absolutely no fear of missing out (#NoFOMO) on the coolest finds online.
“I would rather shop from the safety of my own home which is why this app is one of the best things that happened to me.” says fashion blogger, Joanna Ladrido.
Unlike applying for a credit card, there is no need to fill up countless forms in getting your own PayMaya account. You just need to download the PayMaya app from Google Play Store or App Store, fill in your personal information, and activate your own reloadable virtual Visa card. Load up your account, go ahead and shop away! True to its digital nature, PayMaya promises no application forms, no complicated fees - to make you relish that "no fear of missing out" (#NoFOMO) vibe.
